"Staff" issue

Just a heads-up -- the fall catalog has left John Brock off of the faculty list. Not to worry -- he will be here. The adjustment to the new student information system inadvertently converted a number of people to staff (not just Dr. Brock). The powers-that-be are working on it.

For the fall, Dr. Brock will be teaching Econ 1050, Econ 3020 and Econ 3850.

Summer/Fall Course Offerings

For the Summer 2010 term, the department plans on offering a short May interterm offering of Econ 3410 (note that the campus is lengthening the course identifiers) International Economics and a regular summer term section of Econ 2020 Introduction to Macroeconomics.

For Fall 2010, the department will be offering:

• Econ 1000: Economics of Social Issues
  
• Econ 1010: Introduction to Microeconomics (6 sections)
  
• Econ 1050: Economics in Practice
  
• Econ 2020: Introduction to Macroeconomics (2 sections)
  
• Econ 3010: Intermediate Microeconomics (Friday, 10.50-1.30)
  
• Econ 3020: Intermediate Macroeconomics (MW, 9.25-10.40)
  
• Econ 3210: Economics of the Public Sector I (T 10.50-1.30)
  
• Econ 3770: Economic Development (MW 1.40-2.55)
  
• Econ 3850: Law and Economics (MW 3.05-4.20)
  
• Econ 4530: Power and Prosperity (R 10.50-1.30)
  

Please note that this is a somewhat reduced schedule of offerings as I will be on sabbatical during the Fall 2010 term.

For longer term planning, our planned Spring 2011 upper division offerings are Econ 3020: Intermediate Macroeconomics, Econ 3610: Work and Pay, Econ 3870: Behavioral Economics, Econ 4010: Advanced Microeconomic Theory, Econ 4210: Economics of the Public Sector II, Econ 4500: Money and Banking, Econ 4510: Constitution and the Economy, and Econ 4810: Econometrics.

Please let me know if you have questions, Dale
