Right Economics? | Blackboard | Graphing | Math Review

Is This the Right Economics Course for Me?

If you have already taken microeconomics elsewhere, I suggest that you skip this class and enroll directly in Microeconomics for Policy II (PPPA 6014). If you have never taken economics and are a MPP student, this course is required. If you have taken a principles level economics class before, taking this class is your choice. If you remain unsure, please email me.

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.
