Happy New Year! Below is a list of all the teaching-related sessions at the ASSA meetings in Philadelphia. Of special note: I will be part of a panel with Tyler Cowen, Bill Goffe and Jose Vazquez on Saturday morning, titled: "Is it Time to Change the Principles Curriculum?” In order to spark discussion during the panel session, we would like to obtain some very informal information of what different instructors try to achieve with their Principles courses. To that end, we have designed a very short google survey (3 questions), to collect some information from any Principles instructor willing to participate. Please help us out by going to https://goo.gl/forms/NFf1OfNOW9sxK9jm2. We will only use the responses for illustration purposes during the panel and your answers will be entirely anonymous. Thank you!!!
As always, if I've missed any sessions, please let me know. Also, don't forget the CEE reception on Friday for Friends of Economic Education (Marriott, meeting room 502). Hope to see you there!
