Welcome to ECON 201

Welcome to Economics

My name is Neal Wade and I’ll be your instructor for this course. This is a 6 week course and we will be moving along at a brisk pace. I have tried to organize it so that while the pace will be fast, it will be doable. Make sure you review the syllabus as you’ll be responsible for knowing its contents. If you have questions about it make sure to ask. My contact information is in the syllabus. ECN201_Summer20_S2.docx

Now, how is this class organized? We are going to cover 3 chapters a week. Each chapter has a quiz that is worth between 25 and 50 points. It is important that you answer each question in your own words. I know it is tempting and easier to just copy out of the book, but please don’t. In addition to reading the text there are power point presentations to review. I recommend that you do review them. I am trying to narrate them to help clarify certain points that I think need that clarification. There is also a weekly discussion that you must reply to. Along with replying the topic you must respond to two other students response. I’ll be adding my own take to your response. Here's a link to the text book Microeconomics2e-Textbook.pdf

About the quizzes, in Canvas once you open a quiz you must complete it in one sitting. I realize that this may be difficult to do at times. . Again, it’s important that you answer the questions in your own words.
