Midterm Cancellation and Paper Assignment: Econ 115, Fall 2009

I really do not want to give up November 19 as a lecture day--and bitter experience has taught me that an afternoon lecture on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, the 24th, simply does not work.

Therefore: the midterm scheduled for November 19 is cancelled.

In its place is substituted:

Due Friday December 11, 5 PM: 2500 words. Take one of your short papers for this course--I hope the one you liked most--and expand it and its argument to about 2500 words.

This assignment substitutes for the November 19 midterm in all respects.

Leigh Speakers' Bureau:
The Eighteen-Year-Old is going to college next year, which means that I need to think about making more money. (The idea that one might write checks to rather than receive checks from universities is now strange to me.) So I have signed up with the Leigh Speakers' Bureau which also handles, among many others: Chris Anderson; Suzanne Berger; Michael Boskin; Kenneth Courtis; Clive Crook; Bill Emmott; Robert H. Frank; William Goetzmann; Douglas J. Holtz-Eakin; Paul Krugman; Bill McKibben; Paul Romer; Jeffrey Sachs; Robert Shiller;James Surowiecki; Martin Wolf; Adrian Wooldridge.
