FAQs for Fall Term Macroeconomics Lab or Math Camps
Q. Do I have to attend?
A. Yes. Attendance will be taken.
Q. But do I really have to attend? I'm taking Prof. Sexton's class, not Prof. Prieger's.
A. Yes. Regardless of which microeconomics class you take, you will need these mathematical
tools for the core macroeconomics class next semester (at least).
Q. But do I really have to attend? I already know all this math.
A. It would still be good to come, if for no other reason to help your fellow students
who are not as mathematically prepared as you are.
