課程概述 |
[For the complete info, please refer to http://homepage.ntu.edu.tw/~josephw/essential_micro_theory_09F.htm ]
This is a graduate micro course taught in English. Hence, you are expected to finish all of your assignments in English, including your exams. If you feel that you would be in a disadvantaged position, please reconsider your decision to take this course (take Microeconomic Theory III instead).[如果您覺得考試要用英文作答有困難，請重新考慮是否要選擇這門課程(可以上個體經濟理論三)。] I will not accept English proficiency as an excuse for grade petition. Also, I pre-commit NOT to understand Chinese either in class or when grading. I might accidentally use Chinese if I don’t recognize you as a student of this class, but I will try to correct such a mistake as soon as I realize it. |

課程目標 |
1. Enjoy economics through real world examples and classroom experiments. I will try to prepare one example and/or experiment for each topic. Prepare to have fun and enjoy.
2. Train you to think like an economist. You are expected to learn the basic tools used by economists to analyze various questions that arise in the real world.
3. Improve your English, especially in listening, speaking and writing. You should be able to improve your English ability (and get a unique, credible recommendation letter to prove it), which is useful when you look for a job or apply to study abroad. |
