Instructors have provided the following information to generally describe what to expect in their classes.

Economics

Class Format

My courses, Macroeconomics (ECON 230) and Microeconomics (ECON 231), are delivered 100% online in a 7-week format. We cover the same amount of material that you would normally cover in a 15-week class but at a faster pace.

Resource Use

Textbook: Yes (mandatory) – the eBook is included in the price of your tuition via JCCC’s “Day One Access.”

Software: The current platform is called Connect Economics, by McGraw Hill publishers, and it is also included in your tuition as part of our “Day One Access.”

Canvas is JCCC’s learning management system and my courses are delivered through the Canvas platform. In Canvas, you’ll find my lecture notes and tutorial videos to help you successfully navigate the material.

Assessment

The student's grade is based on a variety of assignments for each of the 4 units. You’ll have SmartBook and Connect homework assignments, an application-based activity (on the Connect platform), a discussion, and a unit exam (which includes a problem-set mini exam as well as multiple choice questions).

Homework Policy

Homework is essential to passing this class and is required for test preparation. (See Assessment above.)

Attendance Policy

I have mandatory attendance requirements which must be completed in the first week of class or you will be dropped for “non-attendance” and receive a full refund of your tuition. Once you have completed the mandatory attendance assignments, it will be your responsibility to withdraw if you stop attending (participating). The Economics Department does not withdraw students for poor attendance.

Availability

Since this is a 100% online course, I do not have office hours, but I’m online daily (including weekends/holidays) to answer all your questions via email. My response time is less than 24 hours.

Additional Information

The best way to pass my class (ECON 230 or ECON 231) is to utilize the resources I provide. This is not a Google class and using resources outside of the ones I provide is penalized (details about this are in my syllabus). I also want to note that these 7-week, fast-paced courses aren’t for everyone. You will want to carefully consider your other time commitments before signing up. Once you’re on board, I’ll help you all I can to gain an understanding of how our economy functions at the micro or macro level. I’ll be “seeing” you soon!
