Modalità d'esame
The final grade will be a weighted average of the (a) group presentations (10%) (b) class participation (10%), (c) written midterm exam (40%) (d) written final exam (40%). Non-attendees should contact the instructor at the beginning of the semester if they would like to participate in the group presentations. Non-attending students and students that reject their midterm grade will be given a longer final exam that will count for 60%, 80% or 100% of the final grade as applicable. The in-class slides of the instructor will form the basis for the material covered in the exams and will be made available to the students online. A reading list from the books by Gruber and Borjas will also be provided and material from these chapters can be covered in the exams as well.

Criteri di valutazione
Criteria are standard: in exams correct procedure and solution counts. In addition, solutions to problems require the ability to summarize, evaluate, and establish relationships between topics, and skills in critical thinking.
