课程描述
市场经济主要依靠价格体系作为经济非政府部门分配资源的一种手段。微观经济学入门的目的是培养学生对价格体系的理解和欣赏。这门课程将调查市场经济的长处和短处，以及政府干预市场的成败。为了评价市场体系的长处和短处，需要一个基本理论的坚实基础。一旦学生在处理这些分析工具方面获得了便利，注意力将转向公共政策的问题，如市场营销委员会、竞争政策、环境政策和贸易政策。

MyEconLab (MEL) Assignments
1% for each of the top 10 quizzes
• There are a total of 13 MELs. Only the top 10 will count. Assignments will be completed on-line using MEL software.
• Sometimes MELs will cover material before the lecture covers the material. Preparation should make lectures more fruitful.
• Each assignment MUST be completed by its due date. Due dates are indicated in MEL (during the term) and on the table in this outline.
• You are allowed unlimited attempts per assignment and your grade is the highest of your attempts. Thus, you should try to get perfect on these assignments to be adequately prepared for exams.
• All assignments are to be done individually. Please allow 24 hours for servicing of technical difficulties. Contact Pearson with any technical problems. We have a Pearson ambassador who can be your first point of contact with Pearson for enrolment purposes and the TA will help with the MEL assignments. See Courselink for contact information.
• Any Economics questions about MEL should be sent to the TA whose contact information can be found in Courselink
• If you get 10 assignments perfect then we will shift 2% of the weight from the final to MEL and your grade will be 12/12 on MEL and the final will be worth a maximum of 44%. This will not show in Courselink but will happen when we calculate final grades.
• Refer to CourseLink for instructions about using MEL.
