ECON 130 - Public Policy (Tang)
Econ 130 is a wonderful elective. The course highlights some of the best applications of economics theory and discusses important policy topics. Econ 130 is an application of the theory that you learned in your other economics courses, but with less mathematics and less stress. For Econ 130, Prof Tang typically has two midterms and a final as well as four problem sets. I have reviews and playbooks to guide you through each step of the course and ensure that you have a successful quarter! Studying the old exam questions is vital for doing well in the course. The exam reviews are organized around old test questions and I have a separate review devoted to the latest practice exams. The reviews are recorded and posted on my auxiliary website, so you can watch them at your convenience. A tentative schedule is given below. The actual dates may vary but there will be three reviews for each exam and one review for each problem set. The reviews average 90 minutes. They provide quick overviews of the key topics and step-by-step instruction. A former college instructor, I went to graduate school at UCSD in Economics and was a teaching assistant for the Econ 100 and 120 series. More importantly, I have been tutoring electives for UCSD Economics students for more than 20 years including all the times that Prof Tang has taught Econ 130.
