Announcements: * Both the sample questions-and-answers and the list of outside readings for the second exam are now posted below. * Of the homework questions students didn't need to answer, question #22, parts (a)-(d) is still relevant for exam II. The topics covered by questions #22 (e)-(i), #23, and #24 will be covered in class right after the second exam. * Of the posted sample questions, the last four (#25-28) are no longer relevant for exam II (they relate to a firm's profit-maximization decisions, and we've delayed our coverage of that topic). * Here's homework question #15 which was to be posted on the web page. [Sorry for forgetting to do this earlier.] * The material on "behavioral economics" (pp. 298-309) -- which the syllabus indicates should have been covered on the first exam -- will instead be covered on the second exam. * The material on using supply-and-demand curves to study the effect of a "commodity tax" (pp. 115-120) -- which the syllabus indicates should be covered on the second exam -- will be postponed until later in the semester. * The material on "firm revenue" and "profit maximization" (pp. 376-384) -- which the syllabus indicates should be covered on the second exam -- will be postponed until the third exam. * Pre-second-exam office hours: Prof. Trandel: Tuesday, 10:30-2:00 and Thursday 12:00-3:30. T.A. Devshree Angrish: Thursday, 8:00-9:15 (a.m.); Bank of America Bldg, Clayton St. * Some of the first-exam scores originally posted on WebCT for students in the 12:20 class were incorrect. The correct scores have now posted. * Grades recorded for homework are: "C" for "Full Credit"; "M" for "Minus Credit" (assignment handed in, but work not up to appropriate standards); "N" for "Not Handed In". * New syllabi (dated August 21st) have been posted. They differ from the documents posted earlier only by including information on the Teaching Assistant's office hours. |
