Students are introduced to the ten fundamental principles on which the study of economics is based. Throughout this course, the students will use these ten principles to better develop their understanding of economics and how society manages its scarce resources. Students will see how markets work using supply and demand for a good to determine both the quantity produced and the price at which the good sells. The concepts of equilibrium and elasticity are used to explain the sensitivity of quantity supplied and quantity demanded to changes in economic variables. Students will see how government policies impact prices and quantities in markets.

References should be reputable. The text for this course is reputable. Internet sites like Investopedia, Investor words, Yahoo Answers, About.com, eHow.com, and Wikipedia are NOT reputable. Do not cite them. Wikipedia may be used to find reputable sources, but you MUST then go to those primary sources, assuming they are reputable, and cite those sources. Assignment content that is based on information from non-reputable sources, or for which there is no citation of the source, will not receive credit. This applies to individual and team assignments.

Papers should have a minimal amount of direct quotes. At most, papers should contain no more than 5 percent direct quotes. Any percentage over that will result in automatic point deductions. A paper with 15 percent direct quotes will be docked 10 percent of the total points possible (e.g., a 12 point assignment with 15 percent direct quotes would be docked 1.2 points). The rationale for this policy is that if 35 percent of a submitted paper is in other people's words, it should be worth no more than a C. You will lose far fewer points paraphrasing, no matter how poor your grammar, spelling, and writing ability. Plus, you are more likely to improve your writing skills.
