Eco 200 - Principles of Macroeconomics

I am currently using Angel Class Management System . I will no longer update these web pages for my classes.  Students in my class should use Angel to get current notes.

Large class:
For those who are wondering if there is any correlation between going to class and grades here is a sobering statistic.  Of those students who missed more than seven classes, 50 percent received less than a C-.  That is 50 percent of those students who missing four weeks of class got either a D+,D,D- or failed. Of this group (missing 8 or more classes) 25 percent failed the class.  86 percent of those students who failed this class missed more than seven classes. So if you hear from students that you do not need to attend class to do well in this class because the notes are posted on line beware.

Small class.  Of those students who missed more than six classes (two weeks), 53 percent received less than a C-.

In a small class of those students who missed two or less classes 39 percent received A or A-.
