Economics is not only a core subject, but a subject that provides core skills for all individuals. In my teaching tenure I have taught a wide variety of students all who have different goals in life. While the world is changing quickly, my goal is to teach students the skills they need to adapt to any challenge and solve any problem. When students leave my class, my hope is that they are more confident in themselves and in their understanding of the world. In all of my courses, from principles to graduate level, students will develop skills in writing, problem solving, critical thinking, and develop a strong intuition. Through including a wide variety of assignments and materials, and always encouraging students to have a growth mindset, I find that many of my student are able to thrive.
This course will introduce the fundamental economic principles and apply them to economic problems. The primary topics include scarcity and choice, the theories of consumption, production and markets, and the role of government and its' policies in those markets. Analysis of policy surrounding income distribution, agriculture/government regulation of business, labor organizations, and international trade/elementary microeconomic models will be addressed.
The changing economic system with its developing problems is studied from the simple circumstances of Colonial times, through the emergent industrialism of the middle period, to the complex, specialized, and diverse conditions of today. This includes an introductory survey of aggregate economic principles. The scope and method of economics, basic supply and demand theory, and national income theory are intermeshed.
This course examines economic concepts and fundamental theory and methods that serve as the foundation for managerial decision-making and influence firm outcomes within markets. Primary firm-related topics addressed include consumer theory, analysis and statistical estimation of demand, production and cost analysis, profit maximization under different market models and the resulting effects on strategic behavior and pricing. Current issues surrounding the macroeconomy and the impact of government policy on private market outcomes will also be highlighted.
This course is designed to develop an understanding of the three pillars of modern microeconomic theory: consumer behavior, producer behavior, and market competition. The material in this course provides the foundation for studying issues in a wide variety of fields in economics, including labor, health, education, industrial organization, trade, environmental economics, and other fields, and it is essential for further study in economics.
This course provides an introduction to the process and methods of econometrics. Econometrics concerns the use of economic data to estimate economic relationships, to statistically evaluate hypotheses, and to forecast. My goal is that you come away from this course with an understanding of basic econometric methods, as well as an ability to apply them to answer interesting questions.
This course focuses on applying basic economic theory to problems involved with natural and environmental resources. Topics include economic perspectives on the concepts of sustainability and natural resource scarcity for nonrenewable or depletable resources, optimal management of renewable resources, and pollution management strategies.
This course is organized very well on a timeline basis. Our professor made it clear from week 1 what our term would look like with assignments and exams. It has been consistent and easy to follow with this schedule.
I think that for Economics,this was a perfect class. The instructor gave us plenty of extra resources if we needed help, and helped us understand the material better if we needed it. I think that it was nice how each student could choose wheth
I really enjoyed how the lectures and class in general was laid out. I liked the examples we did in class that could translate to the homework problem sets and thought the homework was a good way to test our understanding. The teaching was very clear and easy to absorb. er to ask for more help or work on things alone, because in Econ classes it seems like a lot of people are at different levels of knowledge.
