2/8: I have now posted the video from last night's Problem Session (covering Chapters 7 and 8) on the Class Video Page.

2/8: As a result of an error by me, the MEF2 module expired early this morning (at about 1 am) and disappeared from Blackboard . It should have been available until 11 am. It is now available again. I have set a new due date for Monday, 2/13, at 11 am. 

2/7: I have now posted the Test 2 Schedule. That test is scheduled for 2/21 - 2/23.I you would like to request a change in your assigned time, please send a message to econ224@professorchappell.com. Please Make your request by Tuesday, 2/14, and please indicate which time slot you would like to be assigned to. We will try to honor all requests made by 2/14; however, we may not always be able to assign you to your most preferred time. My TA, Yunlu Shu, will maintain the test schedule and all revisions to it. 

2/5: I have now posted These Problems from Chapter 7 and These Problems from Chapter 8 to be covered in the 2/7 problem session.

2/3: Test scores and detailed results are now available to you in the "My Grades" area of Blackboard.

1/31: Test results will be available to you in the "My Grades" area of Blackboard on Friday morning, after everyone has finished taking the test. I will send an e-mail announcement when the test results have been made visible. You will be able to see your scores, as well as the questions and answers for your specific test.

1/31: I have now posted the video from last night's Chapter 6 Problem Session on the Class Video Page.

1/30: I have now posted These Problems from Chapter 6 to be covered in the 1/31 problem session.

1/30: I have now posted the Preliminary Schedule for the Final Exam. I am posting this now for those who would like to have information about the exam schedule before making end-of-semester travel plans. For a period of one week, ending Monday 2/6 at 11 am, you can request a change in the time for your final exam. My TA, Yunlu, will respond to your requests. After that time, we will NOT accept requests until later in the semester (after Test 4). At that time we will again permit requests for changes.

1/24: I have made several revisions to the course FAQ on the matter of the glitch that Blackboard has occasionally displayed with the "in progress" grade indicator. This makes the course FAQ compatible with my 1/18 announcement about this issue.

1/24: I will have a change in office hours for today (1/24). Office hours today will be from from 9:30 -11:00 am and from 5:15 pm to 6 pm. This is a one-time change; unless noted, the usual schedule applies hereafter.
