My first Fundamentals of Microeconomics starts on Tuesday next week, and I think the best preparation for incoming freshman may be to read this article:
Classroom Etiquette 101
It basically points out classroom etiquette that most instructors notice, but students never come out and say. The best part of this article is that it's written by a student to other students. If you're a college student, please take the time to read this and think about your actions.
It will be interesting to see how the things I've learned from teaching Sports Economics translates into a principles course.
Focused on exposing the underlying economics behind humans' favorite activities. Why sports teams shouldn't be punting on fourth down and why Walmart dumps their Halloween candy the day after Halloween. Our lives are surrounded by economics, but most people don't take the time to stop and think about what's going on. This site is aimed at pointing out economics where you may have never seen it before.
