Study Labs

Lab sessions are held several times a week by selected graduate assistants and review areas and topics examined by the core economics classes. Sessions are ideal for reviewing class material and improving skills in economic analysis. 

Lab sessions are free and all School of Public Policy students are encouraged to attend.

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.
