Assignment Learning Objectives:
By completing this weekly writing assignment, students will enhance their understanding of key economic concepts and theories.
They will develop the ability to critically analyze and articulate the significance of specific economic topics, demonstrating their ability to integrate academic research and theoretical knowledge into their writing. This assignment will also help students improve their research, writing, and critical thinking skills, providing a solid foundation for their capstone paper.
Assignment Steps
Your task is to take an idea (or multiple ideas) from the module E and write about its importance to economics, who developed this area or topic, why it is important to you and/or to society. You should target about 2-3 pages. Use any materials provided to you in the module, supplement your research from your past class, or do your own research. Make sure you cite your sources.
Here are the points that would be helpful in writing. You do not need to hit all the points, but use these to help guide your thought process.
Importance to Economics:
1. Discuss how the chosen topic contributes to our understanding of economic principles, ideas, real world phenomena.
2. Explain its significance in economic theory, applications, or economic practice.
3. Provide examples or empirical evidence to support your points.

1. Provide background information on the development of the chosen topic.
2. Describe the holes in economics at the time and why the topic or idea needed to be studied.

2. Discuss how it affects individuals, businesses, governments, and other stakeholders.
3. Highlight any societal challenges or opportunities associated with the topic.
Personal Reflection:
