Objective: In Macroeconomics, we are concerned with fundamental concepts that help us describe economy as a whole. We will cover basic theory of national income analysis, causes of unemployment and inflation, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government.

Assignments:

You are responsible for doing all of the homework assigned in class. Assignments will be announced in class. Remember, to get a good grade in this class you must understand material and demonstrate that you are able to perform in tests. I will do my best to help you with that but I expect you to take an independent approach to learning: reading materials, completing assignments and using Connect.

Academic Misconduct:

Academic integrity means that students are honest in their academic endeavors. Cheating on examinations will result in penalties ranging from an F on the test to expulsion from the University depending on the nature of the offense (Ohio University Student Code of Conduct 1). Lack of knowledge of the academic honesty policy is not a reasonable explanation for a violation.

Miscellaneous:

Also, this is a very large class and the actions of just a few people can be quite disruptive. For this reason, idle talk, talking on cell phones, and speaking out of turn are not allowed in the class.
