https://at-ceu.studyguide.timeedit.net/modules/UGST4076?type=COREThis undergraduate class provides a gentle introduction to modern economics for students who are not following a major field of study in economics, specifically those in the Culture, Politics, and Society BA program. Economists rely heavily on mathematical models and statistical techniques in their analyses and most introductory courses provide a primer on the technical details of economic methodology. While the course does equip students with some of the analytical tools that economists use, the focus is more on developing economic intuition and literacy, rather than technical mastery. The primary goal of the course is to enable students to apply principles of economics to understand market scenarios, to their own decision-making, and to analyze complex public policy questions. Most sessions will be lecture format, but students will find a variety of alternative methods, including in-class learning activities and in-class presentations on contemporary economic issues.
