This course is the first in a series of six that together cover the complete Microeconomics curriculum outlined by the College Board for the AP exam. By dividing the curriculum into six mini-courses, students have the flexibility to either complete the full AP Microeconomics sequence or focus on specific units where they need additional support (if they are concurrently enrolled in a microeconomics course at their high school and require extra help). The AP Microeconomics curriculum includes 6 units: UNIT 1: Basic Economic Concepts UNIT 2: Supply and Demand UNIT 3: Production, Cost, and the Perfect Competition Model UNIT 4: Imperfect Competition UNIT 5: Factor Markets UNIT 6: Market Failure and the Role of Government This course will focus on Unit 1-Basic Economic Concepts. This unit represents 12–15% AP Exam Weighting. Throughout this course, students will engage with economic theory and develop the skills to create, interpret, and apply economic models and graphs effectively. Unit-1 will cover the following topics: 1.1. Scarcity and choice 1.2. Resource Allocation and Economic Systems 1.3 Production Possibilities Curve 1.4 Comparative Advantage and Trade 1.5 Marginal Analysis and Consumer Choice The learning approach combines a lecture in which the theoretical background of the topic is presented (lesson 1 of the week), followed by applications (lesson 2 of the week) with a focus on problem-solving (practical exercises, case studies, additional readings). If the available time slots do not fit your schedule, feel free to request an alternative date or time
