WHAT'S NEW? WHAT'S DUE?

Economics 1A Syllabus Fall 2005
 

December 16: Grade check: I have finished grading the midterm and all other class assignments. Contact me by email or stop by my office to check on your grade on the midterm and your current grade in the class. Then you can decide if you need to take the final exam. If you stop by my office, you can also pick up the last midterm and any other graded assignments that I have of yours.

Remember, you may drop your lowest test grade. So, if you are satisfied with your grade going into the Final Exam, you don't have to take the Final Exam. However, if you wish to drop your lowest midterm grade you must take the Final Exam.

IF YOU CONTACT ME BY EMAIL, PLEASE PUT THE FOLLOWING

Week of December 12

Final Exam on Tuesday, December 13 at 7:00 PM:

The Final Exam will cover the material from all of the material covered in the lectures:
            About 80% of the test questions will be multiple choice and based based on material from the "Quiz Preparation Materials" or material covered in the three study guides. Up to about 20% of the questions will involve graphing  related to some of the following:

The Production Possibility Frontier
Market Supply and Demand
Loanable Funds Theory
Liquidity Preference
Aggregate Supply and Demand

Please note, I will draw extensively from the "Quiz Preparation Materials" for the exam but I may reword the questions. The questions may be similar to ones included in the "Quiz Preparation Materials" but not identical.  In preparing for the exam, please concentrate on understanding and being familiar with the ideas. Please don't try to simply memorize all of the questions and answers.
