A New Semester...
Welcome to my Econ. Blog. Here you will find videos, reflection guides, test reviews and a general forum to post questions that you may have about the course or about Economics in general. You will also be required to post at least 4 times during the semester. These can be part of a class discussion and will count towards participation points. If you find anything worth sharing (news articles, videos, etc.) You may post them here for extra credit. I look forward to the semester! Cheers!

The Semester is Over
Well cats (or just Conrad),
The semester is finally over. Nearly all of you survived. Final scores were ok, no one scored higher than a 31 (congrats favorite student). But thanks for all the good times! I hope you will look back at the class and remember all the important things you learned (slang words included).

2 Weeks Left and All is Well....
I'm proud to say everyone is passing Econ this semester. Make sure you study for your final, like I said in class 60 questions, multiple choice. This test could make or break you. People who are at 60%, make sure to do the last extra credit opportunity to ensure that you pass!
On a lighter note, just got back from a great conference in San Diego. I got a ton of new Econ material and I am stoked to start using it.
Check on Thursday for some online review question hints! Also, if there are any further questions, post them and I will answer them in a timely manner.
See you soon!
