Welcome, students, to Economics (marketing)!
It has been called the dismal science
by people who don't understand how interesting it can be. We will
explore topics that affect people's daily lives and that are in the news
-- unemployment, inflation (deflation), austerity programs, the dollar
vs. the euro, China's impact, immigration, how the Global Financial
Crisis of 2008 and the covid-19 pandemic have affected you, your family, your community, Spain, and the rest of the world.
We will learn how to read business and
economic news. By the end of this course, you should be able to impress
your friends and family with your ability to talk knowledgeably about
the topic.
You will do research and writing on
related topics, and in groups you will develop projects on economic topics.
This blog will be used to post reading and homework assignments. You will post your homework assignments to the ADI system.
Be sure to get your ADI password (and
don't forget it!). If you need help, people from the Information
Technology department will be posted in the lobby of the FCOM building
to help you.
I look forward to working with you, and Good Luck!
Prof. B.
