- Class Description:
While this section of the course does not have a formal lab, the two teaching assistants (TAs) will have weekly office hours to assist students with problem sets and schedule review sessions before all exams.
The textbook for the course is: Robert S. Pindyck and Daniel Rubinfeld (P&R), Microeconomics, 8th edition, Prentice Hall, 2013.
- Grading:
Homework assignments (10% of class grade): You will receive problem sets almost every week (9 total). They will be posted on Thursdays and be due the following Wednesday by noon (unless otherwise noted). Problem sets are graded by TA with check, check minus or check plus. The lowest problem set grade will be dropped.
Short memo and presentation (10% of grade): Students will work in groups that will be determined at the beginning of the semester. Each group will prepare a presentation for an in-class discussion on a policy or decision-making issue. Presentations will be based on your use of relevant economics tools and your informed opinions. In addition, each member of the group will write an individual memo - no longer than three pages - that summarizes his or her position on the issue. The memo will be due by noon the day of in-class discussion.
Three in class exams ( 10%, 20%, 20%, equals 50% of class grade)
Final exam (30% of class grade)
- Exam Format:
- The in-class exams will cover material presented in class, problem sets and in the policy discussions. Exams will test basic concepts developed in class, as well as your ability to analyze and solve problems similar to those in your problem sets.The final exam will be the same format as the in-class exams and problem sets. It will be cumulative, although more heavily weighted towards the material in the final part of the course.
- Class Format:
- Class will meet once a week on Wednesdays from 6:00 to 8:45 pm. There is no formal grade for class participation but you are strongly encouraged to attend each class and participate in class discussions. Since the class only meets once a week, missing one class entails missing a large amount of course material.Majority of class is lecture-based with plenty of opportunities for questions and some in-class exercises. During half of the classes there will be short memo presentations.
The class will not meet the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, but there will be a homework assignment due the Monday before Thanksgiving. - Workload:
- You should be prepared to spend about 6-10 hours per week outside of the class time on this course. The class lectures are reinforced with problem sets and policy memos.
