 Welcome to Online Economics with Dr. Myers:

Summer 2010

If you are enrolled in a Summer 2010 Course (3250:244 or 3250:600) your syllabus is below. If you need information about the course before then, the summer 2010 courses will be identical to the Spring 2010 courses with the following expeption: There will be no graduate student.

The required book is the 8th edition (NOT THE 9th) of Parkin "Economics" and I am not requiring MyEconLab. In fact MyEconLab may no longer work with the 8th edition.

All students in all of my classes --
