In this course, students will explore the foundations of Economics at the micro and macro levels. Students will learn to think like economists, applying concepts such as scarcity, supply and demand, opportunity cost and marginal analysis to decisions faced by individuals, businesses and countries. Throughout, students will apply the tools of economic analysis to real-word problems.

Completion of this course requires regular access to a laptop or desktop computer with working microphone and webcam, as well as a reliable internet connection.

This Fixed-Paced course incorporates a blend of synchronous and asynchronous elements. Students and teacher meet live via zoom on a regular weekly schedule. In addition, students complete coursework including guided readings, interactive videos, text and video-based discussion threads, problem sets, individual and collaborative projects, and so on. While these activities are time-flexible, teachers sequence them with weekly deadlines to help students keep on track and encourage and support the development of productive time management skills.
