Principles of Macroeconomics, 1102 - Summer 2012
This site is intended for students in the second half of the summer session of Principles of Macroeconomics. Course materials will be posted here in addition to the course site on Moodle.
For students that want a helpful note-taking guide for class, you should download the topic outline for the week's current topic and bring it to class. Because they were prepared by another instructor, I will occasionally diverge from the notes but the big picture is largely unchanged. If you need to remember which topic will be covered in class (or when homework is due, etc.), you can refer to the class schedule, which will be updated as needed. I will also post each week's presentation after class, but they are intentionally incomplete. If you need to copy notes from class, feel free to ask a friend or come to my office hours.
Because a lot of practice material that would normally be covered in recitations cannot be during the summer session, I suggest individually covering the practice problems individually for material with which you feel particularly uncomfortable.
