Prerequisites: ECO 200Y/204/206Y and MAT 133Y/123&124H/135&136H/137Y/157Y; time and energy for reading and thinking about the course, good English language skills – this is a verbal course. Marking Scheme: mid-term tests 20% for the first test, 25% for the second test, in-class exercise 5%, final exam 50%. Term tests Mon., October 7, Mon., November 4, 4-5PM. Short exercise worth 5% done at end of class on September 18? no make-up. Absence from the tests will only be excused for serious illness, notified to me no later than the day after the test, with a note from a doctor that I deem sufficient. Workforce absenteeism averages 3%. An excused absence leads to a make-up term test. An unexcused absence leads to a zero. Office hours: Max Gluskin House 323, Monday, 5-6PM, Thursday, 4-5 PM. Ask questions about the course in these office hours after studying relevant readings. See this video for motivation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=576TsBiJpm4 . Web support: this is a Blackboard course. Blackboard will have announcements, readings, class notes and a discussion board. Please submit general questions to the discussion board. Your classmates may answer them; if not, I will try to answer within two working days. Everyone can benefit from the question and answers.
