Fall 2002

 

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE CLASSES BEGIN:

You will need to purchase the book new from the UO Bookstore. It comes bundled with a CD and access numbers to gain access to a web site. It is important that you purchase the bundle from the UO bookstore or you will not get access to the web site. This is a new edition so you cannot buy it used. The name of the book is Macroeconomics, Principles and Tools, O'Sullivan and Sheffrin, 3rd Edition, Prentice Hall.

I am using 2 Blackboard sites to manage my Fall 2002 Macroeconomics Course.  You will need access to BOTH these Blackboard sites. The sites are:

1. Intro Econ Analy Macro [Fall 02] Course ID: EC202F02. This site contains my syllabus, assignments, contacts, announcements, practice exams and review sheets. You can access this site the way you normally access Blackboard sites on campus. I'll give instructions below.

2.Intro Econ Analy Macro--PH supplement [Fall 02] Course ID: EC202F02PH. This site contains course content directly related to the book and was created by the publisher. Once in blackboard, click on the site with the name Intro Econ Analy Macro--PH supplement under My Courses. Click on My Documents, then select the Chapter you are interested in. You will need to type in your Student Access Key to get to this site. (It a code of about 25 digits --letters and numbers.) The pin number appears on a cardboard sheet budled with your book. Once you have done this sucessfully one time, you will not need to enter the Student Access Key again.
