This course will examine cyclical changes in economic activity, and the effects of monetary and fiscal policies on these changes. Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: Understand the analytical methodology of economic inquiry and competing schools of thought. Identify and describe macroeconomic models. Apply these models and appropriate analytical methodology to macroeconomic situations. Evaluate economic implications of government and individual behavior. Required Course Materials: Macroeconomics, 3rd Edition by Stephen D. Williamson. Attendance Policies: Students are expected to attend all class meetings, and to arrive on time prepared to learn. Attendance will be taken for the first three weeks in class during which time students will be dropped from this course for two absences. Subsequently, participation scores will suffer for failure to attend this course. Exams cannot be made up. Grades and Exams: Grades will be determined based on the following assignments and weights: Three Midterm Exams or Directed Research: 25% These exams may be administered during class time or posted on the website. Each will cover designated course material. The lowest exam score will be dropped and therefore no make-up exams will be administered. Alternatively, students may complete a directed research project on an economic subject. This research will cover one of several designated topics, and individual research will be part of a larger group research project under the guidance of the professor. Potential topics include: wine markets – consumer choices on ebay or patterns of consumption in the Santa Ynez valley; government revenue sharing in resource abundant countries and its implications; a project dealing with new digital media and demand. Each student will complete some reading assignments, some secondary literature review research, and help gather original data. Each student will write a 10-page summary of the research. Also, hopefully, each project will be part of a university wide, or California state system wide, research competition. One Final Exam: 35% The final exam will be a cumulative exam in the same format as the midterm examinations. 3. Homework and News Analysis: 30% Written homework will be assigned on a weekly basis. In addition to regular assignments from the textbook, homework will include the application of economic ideas to pertinent news stories. 4. Participation: 10% This includes regular attendance in class, taking part in class discussions based on readings, homework and current events. This also includes participation with an assigned group on weekly homework presentations. Extra Credit: Students can receive up to 6 percentage points of extra credit (2 percentage points each) for writing short papers. The papers must be at least 2 pages in length and provide a summary and analysis of an approved contemporary or classic reading of economic thought. Students must seek prior approval from the instructor for their chosen readings. The instructor will make suggestions upon request from students. While I reserve the right to adjust the grading scale based on class performance, the following scale can be used as a general guide: 90 to 100 A; 75 to 89 B; 60 to 74 C; 50 to 59 D; less than 50 F. Academic Dishonesty Policy: College study is the process of becoming an independent scholar and thus all students are expected to do their own work. All forms of cheating and plagiarism are absolutely forbidden. This is the official policy of California State University, Channel Islands and the instructor of this course. Students found in violation of this policy will automatically receive an F in the course and be promptly reported to the proper authorities and this will become part of the students’ permanent academic record. Disability Accommodations: Students with disabilities needing accommodation should make requests to Dr. Terri Goldstein, Disability Accommodation Services, Bell Tower, East Wing, Room 1769 (805-437-8528,  HYPERLINK "mailto:terri.goldstein@csuci.edu" terri.goldstein@csuci.edu). All requests for accommodations require appropriate advance notice to avoid a delay in services. Please discuss approved accommodations with me.
