Economics Lectures

Content:  Like others in the class, this was my first experience with economics in school.   I was so gratefull that we had the luxury of having Dr. Johnson speak two classes in a row, it would have been overwhelming to have all that information in one lecture and it wouldn't have been as effective to have the classes separated by other lectures.   I enjoyed the lectures and I think I am finally understanding the terms and concepts.  The most challenging term for me still is perspective.  The idea seems so simple, yet there are so many underlying issues that I want to throw in to complicate it.  I still don't understand how tax payers aren't taken into consideration for a societal perspective, but perhaps I can figure that out when I look into that further with the resources that you guys have posted.  I think the assignment is perfect for us to see if we can apply these terms and use them to analyze a Cost-benefit analysis.  I too like Debbie, have re-written mine, from prior to the lectures, and again after the first lecture and yet again after the third lecture, which I think is a testament to how much I learned in each lecture.
