CELSOC-LA Meeting

Posted on February 9, 2007 by | Leave a comment

On Wednesday Feb 7 I attended a meeting on transportation for intermodal freight in the LA area, which took place in Los Angeles. I made some notes on the four speakers, and obtained some of their presentations.

A summary of the four talks.

CELSOC-LA Meeting

I also made a few contacts with folks and made inquiries about:

  • A potential economic research project on public welfare contributions from public and private funding sources for infrastructure projects like this.
  • Possible interest in coming to our job fair for potential hiring.
  • Interest in students in the business program for hiring or for internships.

Macro – Week 5

Posted on February 3, 2007 by | 2 comments

This week we will finish up chapter 5 and then tackle chapter 6. That will let you get a start on the second homework assignment. Chapter 6 is key for your team project, which is due Friday February 23. I only have a few teams signed up yet, and hope also to get some emails from team leaders by Monday telling me who is on your team.

Wednesday I will not be in class. Use the time to meet regarding your project and get started.

I WANT TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO THE EXTRA POINTS OPPORTUNITY AVAILABLE TO ANYONE WITH A SCORE 65 OR BELOW ON THE FIRST MIDTERM.

You may correct any question for one additional point on the exam; that means a total of 5 extra points possible. You must correct every part of the question, explaining your answer. You may write your corrections on the exam paper in a different color, or you may attach sheets. Turn in both the exam and the corrections! I need to see the exam to know what you were correcting.

The deadline for corrections is Friday 2-9-07.

After the corrections are in I will post the answers for you to see what the book says.

See you Monday!
