Principles of Economics II
(Microeconomics)

Quick Link

Here's how to use Syllabus and 
15-Module Calendar links 
to move quickly 
to any part of the course.

 

When Internet Explorer brings you to my instructor-homepage, scroll to and click your mouse button on the course-homepage you are enrolled in.  Each course-homepage provides links to the syllabus and to a 15-module calendar for the course you have selected.


Syllabus

You should read the syllabus before beginning this course.  The syllabus contains menus with links to information categorized as  "Getting started," "Need-to-know," "Nice-to-know," and "For your information" used at Patrick Henry Community College.  You can move quickly between the parts of the syllabus, using the table of links that precede the syllabus.  Links within each menu are in alphabetical order.  However, links in larger type are more important.  So, for example, pay special attention to the How-to-prepare link on the red Need-to--know menu because it tells you what to do to get ready for exams, for presentations, and for issue-papers.

 

15-Module Calendar

You should read the 15-Module Calendar before each class session or before each Internet session.  The 15 modules take you through the course from start to finish.  Each module looks like the one that follows, and has the same distinguishing links in it.  Here is a SAMPLE MODULE:
