경제학: 세상은 자기 이익에 따라 움직인다-학기 과정

In this 12 week semester course, students will learn 51 key economic concepts recommended by the Council of Economic Education for High School classes. The class will consist of a lecture and google slide presentation. The presentation will contain videos and discussion questions that students will be expected to participate in. Each week students will have a homework assignment, which will reflect upon the concepts discussed in class. There will also be a final quiz that is due after the final live class. Homework will be assigned due dates. If you are interested in a class that does not have due dates, then check out my flexible schedule economics class.
