    Principles and Extensions (12th Edition). South-Western.

    OBJECTIVE
    The course presents an in-depth study of some basic topics in microeconomics with a
    special emphasis on using a rigorous analytical and mathematical approach. We will study
    demand theory, uncertainty, and asymmetric Information. Multivariate calculus will be
    extensively used.

    INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES


    It is intended that, after completing this course, students will

    1. Understand economic critical thinking (Objective 1)


    2. Understand the logic and scientific basis of economic analyses
    3. Have a sophisticated knowledge of economics and can use it to explain economic and social
    phenomena (Objective 4)
    4. Analyze qualitatively basic economic and social problems (Objective 4)
    5. Apply economic knowledge to practical situations and make sound economic decisions (Objective 4)
    6. Conduct basic economic analysis and research of the economy and society (Objective 4)
    7. Understand cultural diversity (Objective 6)
    8. Have informed ethical thinking based on rigorous economic and social analyses (Objective 8)
    9. Communicate effectively (Objectives 2, 7)
    10. Be a lifelong user of economic analysis (Objective 9)

    CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE
    Students are expected to attend class regularly and on time, and to participate actively in
    class discussion. Other common-sense classroom etiquette, such as turning off or silencing
    mobile phones during class time, is expected.

    1
    The weights determining the course grade are as follows:

    Class participation 3%
    Tutorial participation and exercises 5%
    Midterm exam I 10% or 28%
    Midterm exam II 28% or 10%
    Final exam 54%

    Students are strongly encouraged to participate actively in class and tutorial discussions,
    which constitute a very important part of the course. There will be two midterm exams and one
    final exam. No makeup exam will be given. Cheating in exams is strictly forbidden. For the
    midterm exams, the one with the higher score will weigh 28% and the one with the lower score
    will weigh 10%. If a midterm exam is missed for legitimate and documented reasons, the 28%
    weight will be allocated to the final exam.

    In some of the tutorials, the teaching assistant will hand out exercises and you have to
    turn in your answers at the end of the tutorials. The quality of your answers will contribute to
    your tutorial score.
