We’re entering the final week. Assuming you have already completed your Book Review Project and the Midterm II (from last week’s Unit 7), you have 2 things left:

Final Exam

The final exam is 80 points. It is made up of 6 MC questions on the book reviews (2 pts each) + 14 MC questions re-covering material already covered in Quiz 2 and the two midterms (each of the 14 MC/TF ques are 2 pts). That’s 40 pts in objective questions. Then there are 5 open ended questions asking you to reflect on certain issues – I’m looking for a 2-3 paragraphs, not long essay answers.

The final exam is submitted once. There is no enforced time limit. D2L might say 120 mins is recommended, but you can ignore that. You should be able to open the final exam, work on part of it, save your work, and come back to it later. If it doesn’t allow you to return to your saved work, let me know ASAP. That is my intent. It’s kind of an online open-book exam.

If you want to study for it first, go back and review quiz 2, midterm I, midterm II, and read the student book project reviews.

Making 3 specific posts on the compsys16.econproph.net website. Specifically, one to identify your 1-3 “Best” posts for me from the semester – the ones you think are most thoughtful; A post reflecting on this course’s experimental design (don’t be afraid to be critical, I’m a big boy); and finally, a self-reflective post on what you’ve learned this semester.

Hi folks I’m hoping to catch up on…

Hi folks! I’m hoping to catch up on Spring Break so we don’t have any more delays during the rest of the term. Revised assignment instructions for Unit 4 are posted now. More important, all the information you need to get started on your big book review/project is now available. Point your browser to the “Book Review Project” tab on the menu above.

Unit 3 readings and assignments are up A…

Unit 3 readings and assignments are up. A couple days late, but it shouldn’t be a problem. There’s no quiz due in unit 3. Instead unit 3 and unit 4 questions on readings will be combined into a short “midterm” that will be open in D2L Feb 22 through Mar 13.

Welcome to ECON 260, Comparative Economic Systems

Hello and Welcome to ECON 260 – Comparative Economic Systems for Spring 2016. I’m Jim. James-Luke-mini
The first thing you should do is to read and study the syllabus (yes, there will actually be a quiz on it – of sorts). You can find the syllabus at https://jimluke.com/lcc/syllabi/syllabus-econ-260-macro-online-spring-2016-crns-50414-full-16-wk/

Right now (Tuesday evening), I’m still a bit behind. This site is very close to ready but still some polishing to be done. Sometime tomorrow (Weds, Jan 13) you’ll receive an email to your LCC school email address – the Gmail based email that ends with @mail.lcc.edu, not your D2L “email” messaging. This email will have both your logon credentials to log on to this site and make your own posts just like this one. It’s how we’ll do the whole course.
Also coming tomorrow are detailed reading assignments and instructions for how to complete unit 1. Unit 1 isn’t due until end of Sunday, Jan 24, so you still have plenty of time even though I’m a little delayed here.
