Is This the Right Economics Course for Me?

If you are not sure whether this is the right economics course for you, please see our frequently asked questions on this topic.

Blackboard

If you would like to have a discussion board activated, or if there are other features on Blackboard that you would like to use, please let me know.

Graphing

I highly recommend Desmos for graphing equations. While not a substitute for your ability to draw graphs by yourself, it is a highly useful tool for checking your work and understanding how changes in an equation change the graph.

Math Review

Before the beginning of the semester, the Trachtenberg School sent all students links for math review. If you believe you need math review, but have not yet undertaken this, I encourage you to do it now. See the note about math preparation in the Prerequisites section of the syllabus.

In addition, my welcome email for this semester includes a link to a self-paced set of math practice problems. If you are unsure about your math preparation, I encourage you to work through these problems to assess your readiness.
