Classes #1&2 : PRINCIPLES OF MACROECONOMICS 211 and 201
They are introductory courses in macroeconomic theory and policy. The courses focus on many topics of current interest
and importance. Unemployment, inflation, government budget deficits,, rising (or falling) interest rates, the declining
value of the U.S. dollar, and the effects record-high oil prices are all topics of intense discussion and debate today
I learned in those courses that Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption
of goods and services. I also learned a few concepts from those courses including:
Supply and Demand
Prices and Quantities
Marginalism
In those classes, I was asked to turn in assignments each week that tested my understanding of economic theories. There
were also mid-terms exams along with a final exam.
Economics and Business are related to each other. By understanding both concentrations, I'll have a unique experience
that will allow me to be more successful than my peers with a single discipline.
My plan is to apply gained academic experience to practical problems . For example, I may work as a marketing analyst
so that I can use the theories I learned in these classes such as "Supply and Demand concept" in economics and combine
it with Time Value of Money in business to analyze the market behavior as a function of time, supply, and demand. Therefore,
be able to predict future market.
