Performance Based Learner Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:
1. Identify the different theories and models used to analyze the operation of a capitalist society.
2. Explain how each model works.

5. Apply a working knowledge of the vernacular of macroeconomics in oral and written discussions.

Discussion Questions:
I will periodically post discussion questions on WEBCT. Answering the questions is considered your class participation. I will assign class participation points at the end of the term, not sooner. Also, 7 points does not mean 7 posts. It does mean thoughtful responses to the discussion questions and demonstrating knowledge of an economics concept.
