As this is primarily a skill-building course, no term paper is required. Please participate actively in the course, both by reading the material, doing assigned questions, and by engaging in discussion both in and outside of class. Economic issues are all around you and discussing them will better prepare you not only for your next exam, but also for life. Near the end of the term, you will have an opportunity to evaluate the course and the instructor formally. However, your constructive comments, criticisms, and suggestions are always welcome.
Many students find economics difficult to understand.
There are many new terms and unfamiliar concepts. Do not expect to read the text through once and understand the material. In many cases, you must read, work through examples with pen and paper, reread, study and read again. Since the study of economics is relatively difficult, the best way to study is to study consistently. Plan to spend some time with the text and your notes on a daily basis.
