enjoyed the experiment we did in class. I think it was beneficial to see
for ourselves how trading can increase the production of both sides in
the trade.
Well, at least one person thinks
that I accomplished my objective of making economics fun and insightful. |

September 11, 2006 I felt
that Exam 1, when compared with the sample exams was somewhat harder and
a lot harder than the problems that we do in class (clickers). I feel
that we should go over some more challenging questions and problems in
class to better prepare us for the exams.
I think that during the actual test there is
additional pressure and anxiety that makes it seem like the exam is more
difficult than the practice exams. When you take the practice
exam, be sure to mimic exam day conditions (time limit and no
book/notes) in order to create the same sort of pressure and anxiety
that you'll experience on exam day. Regarding the clicker
questions, I think you're right: the questions were too easy. I
will try to increase the level of difficulty on such questions from now
on. |

think you have an effective way of teaching. I came into this class
dreading it, because I did not think I had an interest in the material.
But, your presentation of the material is so organized and purposeful it
is difficult to not finding your class...relieving. Good Job!
Hmmmm...I'm not sure my class has ever been
described as "relieving." After all, I've been known to scream my
head off in class from time to time (if only to wake a few people up). |

I would like to see more instruction on the lab reports I am finding
them confusing.
You are always welcome to ask
questions in class (or through email) or make an appointment to stop by
my office. I will, however, talk some more about the lab report in
class prior to its due date. |

I think this material (Editor's Note: Elasticity) is more challenging
than previous material. Is their (sic) anyway we can incorporate more
problems in class, like we did today, in order to practice the material
better?
Yes, the material is more challenging and yes, I
plan to incorporate more in-class exercises to reinforce the concepts
that are being learned. |
