The Study Guide should be used to help understand the text and to prepare for examinations. Assigned homework will also support these aims. In addition, an interactive study guide for the text, EconActive , is available in public user rooms on campus, and the publisher's Mankiw website has information and exercises. Class sessions will introduce and review some material from the text, introduce additional material, and go over problems and applications. Active class participation is encouraged.
Students are responsible for all material and announcements made in class.
Regular attendance is expected, but records of attendance will not be factored into the course grade. Since coming late or leaving early disturbs other students in the class, this should occur only in rare circumstances. The actual dates for the first two examinations will be announced in class at least one week before the exam. The time and date of the final exam is set by the Registrar. The exams will consist of multiple choice questions, plus analytical problems on some exams.
