Course Description/Outline/Objectives:
This course is a study of macro-economics, history, and government. Therefore, a working knowledge of a government course is a necessary pre-requisite.
This course involves a huge amount of research outside of the student texts. You are REQUIRED to complete an assigned research project during this course, due toward the end of the semester. This will require an essay AND a brief presentation of your findings in class. It will also require that you develop a chart or graph to be presented in class. This will be a challenge for some students, but I have every confidence that they will be successful, and I will be there to help them every minute.
This course also requires a huge amount of reading. If you don’t complete it, you’ll be sorry. A study in economic history will be very enlightening as you reflect on what you’ve learned in your studies of world and American history. There is nothing I can say in class that will replace what you can learn in the reading assignments.
Expected Weekly Time Commitment for Homework: 5 hours
