L3 Economics

L3ECO
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms L. Everett.

Economics is the perfect combination of numbers and words, problems, essays, calculations, and interpretations.  It is both an art and a science subject.  Students will have the opportunity to learn and build microeconomic models which give insights into the real world, and then to critique these models based on their assumptions.  There is rarely a right answer in Economics, but any argument put forward must be backed up by quantitative evidence.  Students will ultimately enjoy Economics because it allows them to employ and develop analytical and evaluative skills.
