Two weeks have passed since the Fall semester began. Today, we visited the classroom of the course "Principles of Economics," which is highly popular among students every year! This is a subject that freshmen can take, and students acquire fundamental knowledge of economics through the course. In the first half of the semester, they learn about the market system and the behavior of consumers and firms. In the second half, we will examine the behavior of an economy at the aggregate level, such as unemployment, inflation, and economic growth.
After the class, many students stayed in the classroom to ask questions to the instructor, confirm the content with their friends, and study diligently.
A freshman who was attending the class at the front said, "The course covers a wide range of contents, and I need to read a textbook for about 2 hours before each class to keep up. It's challenging, but it's interesting because it's deeply related to our lives!" Furthermore, a sophomore recommended this course the most among those he has taken so far, saying, "I took this course because I want to work using mathematics and economics in the future, and it's great to learn practical content." Another sophomore, who mentioned they are not strong in mathematics, said, "I can see the relevance to daily life, so it's fascinating to gain new insights from an economist's perspective on how things look!"
