The AP economics sequence is comprised of two semester-based courses with Microeconomics in the Fall semester and Macroeconomics in the Spring semester. By taking both courses, students will gain a basic level of sophistication in economic matters similar in scope to the experience a college student would receive in survey courses. Students should expect increased demands in reading, writing, and analytical thinking. These courses are recommended for the college-bound student that would like to gain a solid foundation in business practices or if they would like to study business in college. There isan AP exam for each course offered in May.\u003Cbr>Macroeconomics focuses on the economic system as a whole. We will look at major economic indicators such as gross domestic product, inflation and unemployment as well as other forces that affect the entire economy. Other topics covered include inflation, unemployment and international policy. |  |\n| COURSE OBJECTIVES |  |\n| The course objectives are as follows:\u003Cbr>● Students will be able to apply basic economic concepts, analytical tools and economic vocabulary to their everyday lives.\u003Cbr>● Students will master the principles essential for understanding the economizing problem, how market systems function, specific economic issues, and the policy alternatives.\u003Cbr>● Students will understand and be able to apply the economic perspective to their own lives and reason accurately and objectively about economic matters.\u003Cbr>● Promote a lasting interest in economics and the economy and teach the students to become informed, active citizens in our community. |  |\n\nUNITS OF STUDY  \nUnit 1: Basic Economic Concepts  \nUnit 2: Key Economic Indicators and the Business Cycle Unit 3: National Income and Price Determination  \nUnit 4: Financial Sector  \nUnit 5: Long Run Consequences of Stabilization Policies Unit 6: Open Economy- International Trade and Finance  \n COURSE POLICIES AND REQUIREMENTS   \nGRADING  \nCumulative / In-Progress Grade:  \n● 90% will reflect the student’s mastery of course content and skills on summative assessments  \n● 10% will reflect the student’s progress on formative assessments, homework, and behavior  \nEnd-of-the-Year Grade:  \n● 90% will reflect the student’s cumulative course grade through summative and formative assessments as described above  \n● 10% of the end-of-the-course grade will reflect the student’s performance on the course final assessment  \nMATERIALS:  \n● Text: Economics by McConnell, Brue, Flynn, 20th edition  \n● Study Guide for use with Economics by McConnell, et all  \nEXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS:  \nThe Fairfield Public Schools provide a safe learning environment.
