Course Requirements for Economics 302: Intermediate Macroeconomics Gwen Eudey, Spring 2010 Tuesdays-Thursdays 1-2:15pm in 165 Bascom Hall Course Materials: The textbook is Macroeconomics, Third Edition, by Stephen Williamson, with the accompanying Study Guide. We will not be using the Mathematical Appendix. PowerPoint slides of my lecture outlines will be posted on Learn as they become available. Homework Assignments will be posted on Learn as they become available. You may access the data for the “Working with the Data” component of the textbook by going to www.aw-bc.com/williamson. You will need access to a spreadsheet program (such as Excel) in order to make use of the data. Grading: There will be three exams; two given during class time and one during finals week.. Each exam will be worth 30% of your course grade. There are no makeup exams, there is no reward for improvement, and there is no opportunity for extra credit. In addition, there will be roughly ten graded homework assignments that together will account for 10% of your course grade. Homework will consist of both multiple choice questions and questions drawn from the “Working with the Data” problems found at the end of each Textbook chapter. Although you may work with others to complete your homework assignment, each student is responsible for turning in his or her own homework by the announced due-date. Late Homework will not be accepted. The exam dates are: First Exam: Tuesday, February 16, during class time Second Exam: Tuesday, March 23, during class time Third Exam: Monday, May 10, 5:05pm-7:05pm Roughly one-third of exam content will be multiple-choice. Exam questions will be drawn from Lecture, the Text, the end-of-chapter questions, the Study Guide, and the Homework.Grievances, Appeals, and Academic Integrity: You have one week after each of the first two exams have been graded to submit a re-grade request; for the final exam the re-grade submission deadline will be announced once any incompletes for the course have been resolved. The re-grade request must indicate exactly where you think you deserve more points and why. For other types of grievances, the Economics Department guidelines are included below: Grievance Procedure The Department of Economics has developed a grievance procedure through which you may register comments or complaints about a course, an instructor, or a teaching assistant. Before utilizing the formal steps of this procedure, we ask that you utilize two other means of addressing your comments: our regular course evaluations, anonymous and confidential commentaries solicited at the end of each semester in every Economics class, and also by direct communication with the instructor or teaching assistant involved. The formal grievance procedure is designed for situations where neither of these channels is appropriate and where one or both of these have been tried. If you wish to file a grievance, you should go to Room 7238 Social Science and request a Course Comment Sheet. When completing the comment sheet, you will need to provide a detailed statement that describes what aspects of the course you find unsatisfactory. You will need to sign the sheet and provide your student identification number, your addresses, and a phone where you can be reached. The Department will investigate comments fully and respond in writing to complaints. Your name, address, phone number, and student ID number will not be revealed to the instructor or teaching assistant involved and will be treated as confidential. The Department needs this information because it may become necessary for a commenting student to have a meeting with the department chair or a nominee to gather additional information. Your street and e-mail addresses are necessary for providing a written response. Misconduct Statement Academic integrity is critical to maintaining fair and knowledge based learning at UW Madison. Academic dishonesty is a serious violation; it undermines the bonds of trust and honesty between members of our academic community, degrades the value of your degree and defrauds those who may eventually depend upon your knowledge and integrity. Examples of academic misconduct include but are not limited to: cheating on an examination (copying from another student's paper, referring to materials on the exam other than those explicitly permitted, continuing to work on an exam after the time has expired, turning in an exam for re-grading after making changes to the exam), copying the homework of someone else, submitting for credit work done by someone else, stealing examinations or course materials, tampering with the grade records or with another student's work, or knowingly and intentionally assisting another student in any of the above.The Dept. of Economics will deal with these offenses harshly following UWS14 procedures (http://students.wisc.edu/saja/misconduct/UWS14.html): 1. The penalty for misconduct in most cases will be removal from the course and a failing grade. 2. The department will inform the Dean of Students as required and additional sanctions may be applied. 3. The department will keep an internal record of misconduct incidents. This information will be made available to teaching faculty writing recommendation letters and to admission offices of the School of Business and Engineering. If you think you see incidents of misconduct, you should tell your instructor about them, in which case they will take appropriate action and protect your identity. You could also choose to contact our administrator (Mary Beth Ellis: [email protected]) and your identity will be kept
