Senior Seminar: The big (economics) picture and getting ready for life after college

Catalog description

ECO 40000 is a seminar so class meetings will not be lecture-centered. Instead, each student will be expected to actively participate in class discussion, provide thoughtful comments on the readings, give polished oral presentations on their research, and offer detailed reflections on the work of their colleagues in the class. Upon completing this course, students will be able to synthesize and critically question views from some scholarly books and research articles in economics. Second, students will learn to critically examine and present ideas on an area of economics of their choice by gathering, organizing and analyze data and writing, editing and giving oral presentations. Third, students will prepare for life after Hunter College by working on their resumes, interview skills, and public speaking.
