Analysing Current Economic Issues

This course investigates the nature of the competitive global economy and explores how individuals and societies can gain the information they need to make appropriate economic decisions. Students will learn about the principles of microeconomics and macroeconomics, apply economic models and concepts to interpret economic information, assess the validity of statistics, and investigate marketplace dynamics.

Students will use economic inquiry and communication skills to analyse current economic issues, make informed judgements, and present their findings.

Prerequisite: Any university or university/college preparation course in Canadian and world studies, English, or social sciences and humanities
