Intro to Resource Economics introduces students to the fundamentals of economic sciences. Students in this course will study basic microeconomic theories and learn to relate them to our everyday life situations. This course covers inequality, consumers' and firms' decisions, the effect of those decisions on others within a market framework, and externalities. Further, this class will provide you with the necessary knowledge and skills to
understand economic models, use economic data and interpret them. This course will have lectures and discussions. Additionally, students will form a group of 3 – 5 to write a brief project on an interesting economic topic that will help them apply what they learn in this course.
Completing the course means meeting the pre-requisite for many of the core courses needed for Resource Economics, Economics, and Business majors and minors.
