Class Project Instructions
The project for this course is to develop a PowerPoint called "My Economy".
This project is a reflective activity coupled with a personal application of the concepts in this course.
Class Project Objective:
To provide students with the opportunity to reflect on what they learned in the course and apply what they learned to their own lives and their own economy. We are taught that economics is the study of choice. Because choices range over every imaginable aspect of human experience, so does economics. Because so much of our lives involves making choices it is my goal to have students recognize the importance economics plays in our lives and our own personal economies.
At the beginning of classes I would typically ask students who had taken economics in their senior year of high school what they learned. In most cases only 1-2 students would typically answer supply and demand. When I asked why most students did not answer the question they responded that they did not find any thing they were taught to be of value to them. They did not see how economics related to their personal lives. This project is meant to provide students with the knowledge of how economics applies to their personal lives.
Class Project Steps - My Economy
Step One - Reflection of Learnings
Students should review each module covered in the course. In each module review the main points and reflect on what you learned in the module. Identify from your reflections the one "main" thing you learned from each Chapter. Since this class is only 6 weeks long it is a slide per chapter, during the regular semester we only study 1 chapter per module.
Step Two - Formulate a Presentation Slide - Main Learning from Module
Identify from your reflections the one "main" thing you learned from each module and formulate a power point slide that describes the main learning. Since this class covers several chapters per module, please create one slide per chapter.
Step Three - Application of Learning to Your Own Economy
Students should think of how the main concept they are learned impacts their own personal economy.
Step Four - Formulate a Presentation Slide - Impact on "My Economy"
Identify the impact on your own economy and formulate a power point slide that describes the impact.
The "My Economy" Project
At the end of the course each student will create a power point that highlights their own economy, the power point slides are a place where students can tie what they learn to their own experiences in life. Student should tie what they identify how the economy impacts their life.
The power point presentation should be placed in the Class Project assignment box in Module Sixteen. Post your project by file upload in the assignment box provided. You should have a minimum of 17 slide for this project, please include a title slide with your name and the class information. You can also add additional slides including images.
