Hello everyone, this is the place you will be doing a lot of your writing for the class both in the main post section and in the comments to posts. I like the blog format as it feels less formal and more immediate. As a Writing Intensive Curriculum class, part of the goal of the class is to get you comfortable writing about economics. It is my hope that you will have fun doing so here. Feel free to use pictures, graphs and whatever else you can think up if you like (but this is not a requirement).
Remember, however, that this space is very much like the classroom for the course so please be respectful of your fellow classmates and obstain from offensive language or topics. Other than that, have fun.
