Economics
About This Course
This course serves as a survey of the typical topics covered in an introductory high-school level Microeconomics and Macroeconomics class. A more detailed list of topics is provided below, but the topics closely resemble those found in the AP Microeconomics and Macroeconomics curriculum. This class is usually taught at the late high school level; no prior knowledge is explicitly assumed. Familiarity with basic Algebra is strongly recommended. The instructor of this course will be Ivan Zhang. Ivan Zhang is a rising sophomore at UC Berkeley, intending to study Molecular and Cell Biology and Economics. He earned scores of 5 on both AP Economics exams, led the Economics Club, and captained his high school's economics competition teams. Brianna Zheng will be the teaching assistant of this course. She graduated from Basis Independent School Silicon Valley and is an incoming freshman at Princeton University, planning to study Physics. She earned scores of 5 on both AP Economics exams, led the Economics Club, and received multiple honors in physics, math, and economics competitions.
