The final exam

The final exam day and hour is scheduled by the Dean. 

Your final exam consists of three essays about a common theme topic.

bulletSubmit your first essay along with Exam 1.
bulletSubmit your second essay along with Exam 3. 
bulletSubmit your third essay according to guidance below for Internet students and for in-class students.

The following guidance is a four-step process and a list of economists to help you prepare your essays on three famous economists for your final examination.

STEP 1:                 
Pick three famous economists that you have not yet written about or studied in detail, and in whom you become interested from the world of ideas found on the list which follows. 

STEP 2:                 
After becoming acquainted and interested in these persons, find a common theme topic which links these persons and their work together. 

Introduction 
- Develop the theme topic in an Introduction.  
Body 
- In the Body of each essay write about three or more distinct examples that support, amplify, clarify, or present evidence in support of the common theme topic.  
Conclusion 
- Restate the theme topic in your Conclusion. 

STEP 3:                 
Begin to fill in the blueprint you designed for yourself in Step 2 with evidence from your research.  Then check your work against the following standards for unity, coherence and emphasis:

¨       Unity – (Does this essay remain linked to a central purpose?)

Have I stated my theme topic succinctly and up front, and reiterated it during my conclusion?

Have I used paragraphing to group my major ideas that develop the theme?

Do my paragraphs themselves contain topic sentences and supporting detail?

¨       Coherence – (Does this essay provide smooth transitions between its component parts?)

Have I included a topic sentence in the introductory paragraph, a body of supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion that flows from the evidence and supports the original theme sentence?

Do my sentences flow in a logical manner and either introduce or blend naturally into succeeding sentences?  Does each final sentence in a paragraph make a natural transition to another paragraph?

¨       Emphasis – (Does this essay persuade or inform on the basis of evidence rather than assertion?)

Have I made declaratory statements that were not supported by the facts that follow?

Have I used humor or satire or exaggeration in inappropriate ways? 

STEP 4:                 
Proof read your own work.  Check for spelling errors.  See that your work is your own, by attributing that which you have learned from others to them.  Provide the source of your materials after your essay, and if quoting rather than paraphrasing others, give credit to the originator of the idea. 

SUGGESTED SOURCE MATERIAL
Many economists are discussed in Robert L. Heilbroner’s The Worldy Philosophers – The lives, times and ideas of the great economic thinkers available in our bookstore or in the reference works in our library.  I hope you enjoy the discovery of new ideas through immersing yourself in this effort!

THE LENGTH OF THE ESSAYS
Limit each essay to three complete pages of single-spaced, 12-point type, word-processed prose on each economist.  In addition, include a fourth page as a title page each time you turn in an essay.  The title page should have your name, class designation (ECO20101 or ECO 201W1), date, the name(s) of the economist(s), and the common theme statement linking your separate essays together.

 

Internet Students Internet students in ECO201W1 should see that the third essay has arrived at the instructor's office not later than the first day of the 16th module, called "final exam".
In-class Students In-class students in ECO20101 should report to the room on the day and hour during which the final exam is scheduled.  You may turn-in your third typed essay when you arrive, or you may bring writing paper and pen or pencil.   You may hand-write your third essay during the hours alotted for the final exam.

III Expected Outcomes

Recognize course objectives.  (Approximately four to six course objectives are listed in the text on the first page of each chapter.)

IV Goals/Instructional Topics

This course is crafted to achieve five outcomes.

  1. Accessibility. The course seeks to make college transfer credit in macroeconomics available within a single structured semester to any high school graduate.
  2. Thinking like economists. The course seeks to focus on core concepts students need in order to think like economists.
  3. Repetition. The definition of economics is the science of choice for dealing with problems resulting from scarcity. The main ideas from the text are used repeatedly in the study guide, the cd-rom tutorial, and the instructor's Internet site in daily class outlines called Part 1 and Part 2, in PowerPoint slides, and in course objectives that help students confront the main issues in each assigned chapter.  The publisher's web site provides similar reinforcement and the ability to measure your progress by taking online quizzes relating to each chapter.
  4. An inviting pedagogy. This course makes modern economics accessible by using English that is comprehended by students, and language that does not intimidate.  Each chapter opens with a clear statement of learning objectives. Each chapter begins with a student-friendly vignette that grabs attention and leads to a chapter preview.
  5. Use of new information technologies.  This text includes an Economics in Action cd-rom tutorial.  The course includes World Wide Web sites created by your instructor and by Addison-Wesley-Longman.
