ECONOMICS – NOTEBOOK

Mr. Banducci

 

NOTEBOOK OVERVIEW

Compiling a thorough and well-structured notebook is key to your grade on two counts.

 

First, your notebook will be graded periodically throughout the semester and counted towards your participation and class work grade. In that regard, maintaining a complete notebook provides the most pedestrian boost to your overall grade. Mathematically, your notebook could very easily be the difference between a C and an F, a B and a D, or even an A and a C.

 

Secondly, your notebook will help you study for the six assessments throughout the semester. All six of those assessments will be geared directly towards the concepts that I cover in class. Comprehensively, your notebook could very well be the difference between an A and an F.

 

EXPECTATIONS

·         Your notebook should have six sections covering these topics

1.        Common economic terms, concepts, and economic reasoning.

2.        The elements of America's market economy in a global setting

3.        The influence of the federal government on the American economy.

4.        The elements of the U.S. labor market in a global setting.

5.        The aggregate economic behavior of the U.S. economy.

6.        Issues of international trade.

·         Each section represents one unit throughout a six-unit course. Notes should be distinct to that section which we are covering.

·         Notes should be taken on lectures, in-class questions, and other assigned tasks.

·         When you miss class it is your responsibility to make-up the assigned work. You must get that work from another student, not me.
