SECOND MAJOR EXAM, THURSDAY, AUGUST 05, 2003
A Workshop in Economics
By Dr. Usamah Uthman
Objectives:
The objective of the workshop is developing students’ analytical ability in solving economic problems, improving their writing skills in the English language, and introducing them to the habit of team work. In addition to that the workshop will provide a way of circumventing cheating in home works and avoiding wild guessing in solving multiple choice quizzes.
Arrangement:
( 1) The workshop will be conducted mostly during class time. There will be a workshop class on the first class period following every two chapters on the course syllabus.
( 2) Problems will be pre-assigned, and they will come mainly from the textbook end-of-chapter discussion questions and the short problems in the Student Study Guide. This means students must come prepared to the workshop by at least reading the relevant chapters before the workshop class period. This will shorten the time they need to work out the problems.
( 3) Students work will be based upon open-book and open-notes. Every student must bring to class his own textbook and/or study guide.
( 4) The class will be divided into groups. The size of the group shall depend upon the total number of students by the end of the add-drop week of registration.
( 5) Students must form their own groups (teams) no later than the end of the second week of classes. Each team shall select a representative who shall be responsible for communicating between the team and the professor.
( 6) Depending upon the complexity and number of problems assigned, students will be given between 30-45 minutes to do the problems. The team reports must be handed in to the professor by the end of that period. If time allows, the professor conducts an open discussion about the assigned problems with the class at large.
( 7) During the discussion the professor may select randomly some students to comment on the problems. A student’s score in the workshop may be affected by the quality of his verbal discussion.
( 8) The professor shall provide each group with one set of plain sheets of paper for the students to write their solution on. No more than one set of papers per group shall be provided.
( 9) In case all members of a group, except one, withdraw from the course, the remaining member may choose to work individually or join another group, subject to the professor’s approval.
(10) In case a group feels that one member is not participating in the group’s work they may take a simple majority vote and expel him from the group. The implementation of the decision shall be subject to the professor’s approval.

Also, you must supplement your answers with the relevant drawings if any. So you must bring to class your textbook and/or study guide (as may be needed) in addition to pencils, rulers, erasers, etc. There shall be at least four workshops during the semester.
