We will use the listserve for important announcements, frequently asked questions, and other class-wide communications. We will strongly depend upon this text this semester. It is highly recommended that you read the day's assignment before class. Information will be taken from the text and from classroom discussion. I like students to apply their theoretical knowledge to real world situations, so don't be surprised if economic analyses of current news items show up on the exams.
Many current issues are complex and require individual evaluation from a number of perspectives.
In writing your exams, please restrict yourselves to the economic arguments supporting your position. They will be due at the beginning of class. Late submissions will be accepted until the exercise is returned to the class. Quizzes cannot be made up. Accommodations will be made for unanticipated and verifiable medical emergencies.
