First, I am happy to announce that the Hunter College Society for Economics is now officially chartered by the USG. Our first act this year was to put together a tutoring group, and a special thanks is owed to Tamara for her efforts in getting everybody's availability together. Along with my fellow officers, her and Ariel have proven to be invaluable resources in getting everything started. Also , my personal thanks to all of the tutors that have made themselves available during their crazy schedules.
An e-mail and flyers will be distributed to the relevant instructors by the end of the week. The schedule will be posted on the blog by tomorrow afternoon. If you have any questions, please let me or Tamara know.
Second, until our 'official' website is launched, visit this blog for Society meeting times and locations. Meetings will take place on a weekly / bi-weekly basis as needed, with their attendant agendas being made available the day prior. Budget permitting, there will be food / refreshements, and a study group immediately following.
There will be an informal opportunity to meet everyone this coming Thursday (10/13) at the Phoenix Park at 7:30. Impromptu, I know, but I'll be there. And you know what they call guys who drink alone - so please come.
Also, Ryan has been gracious enough to grant us his webspace for Hunter-specific economics resources. You can access it by clicking this link, and it is also permanently posted under Student Resources in the right margin.
Okay...a couple of class-related announcements:
Per Prof. Deb:
A handout describing how to use Stata's do file editor and how to create and use log files is available at my website.
Homework 4 is also now available, along with the required dataset.
Per Prof. Conning:
Dear all in Eco 701,
After some pondering, I have decided to MOVE the Eco 701 midterm exam until OCTOBER 27th.
As several of you had pointed out, it would have been difficult to collect your homeworks before the originally scheduled October 20th date, yet the written solutions to the homework would have been an essential study aid.
What I propose is to move the midterm to October 27th. You will turn in your homework assignments on Thursday the 20th and I will post answers shortly after.
The only cost of this delay is that the midterm will now contain some additional material from 'Production' (chapter 18).
I will try to email everyone in the class and post announcements to the website and blackboard. If you know of anyone in the class who I may have missed, please forward this message.
I'll see you on the 20th.
Jonathan Conning
