In session 4 of the winter semester 2015, I will be offering ECO 3703, International Economics, as a fully-online course. There will be no face-to-face class sessions, nor are there any on-campus proctored tests. So this is truly a fully online class. Session 4 begins on Wednesday, March 11. Orientation activities must be completed by Sunday, March 15.
This course is part of the BAS, Supply Chain Management program at Broward College, but students from St. Petersburg College and elsewhere may be allowed to enroll in the course. It is a closed course to those selected programs, so if you wish to take the class from outside the Supply Chain Management program, please contact Ms. Maynel Lyttle at 954-201-8956.
There are eight units in the course, which we will nicely cover in our 8 week class. You will be evaluated through three short research essays, 2 online class discussions for grade, one (primarily) mathematic exercise, and a large group project. Assignments will all be due on Sunday evening at 11:55 pm.
The text is the premiere source in the field, Krugman, Obstfeld & Melitz, International Economics, 9th edition (Boston: Addison Wesley). ISBN 13: 978-0-13-214665-4. ISBN 10: 0-13-214665-7. The text is very expensive, so please rent the text or buy a used copy. You can rent the text from: Amazon, Barnes and Noble (online), or Bookrenter.com. Past students have paid somewhere in the $20 - 35 range for the semester's rental. The retail cost of the textbook at the college bookstore is in excess of $200. Used texts go for about half the retail price, I believe, but it may be more than that. Rental is the way to go!
The course web site will formally open on Wednesday, March 11, but I will try to have it open on Monday, March 9 for your perusal and preview. (There are no guarantees that the site will be open early, but I will make an effort.) The last day to withdraw from the course for a full refund is Tuesday, March 17.
If you have any additional questions, please contact me at glindebl@broward.edu.
