Optional: a funny look at some
major ideas of economics by the Stand-up
Economist.
*NOTE: There will be a short case
study for most lessons ("Something Interesting - Why are we
studying this?"). The case study does not include everything
from the lesson but it will highlight an interesting and
important topic. The case studies are meant to grab your
attention and help you APPLY a concept from the lesson to a
real world issue. At first the case study may not make
sense. In fact, many will appear contrary to common sense,
(like why are high prices GOOD for the people suffering from
a natural disaster), but after finishing the lesson you
should have a better understanding of the case study or ask
for help in class or on the Blackboard discussion
board.
