[1b] Reflection — Why I Chose This Class

Answer short questions in class provided on Canvas:

• What made you enroll in this course?
• Did you give up anything to take this course? If so, what was that?
• What do you hope to learn/understand better by the end?
• Is there anything you’re worried about when it comes to learning economics, or taking this course?

Goal: Motivating students to learn by internalizing the context in which they came to take this class. Connect the economic concept of “choice” with their own choices.

Secondary goal: Instructor can understand students’ backgrounds, interests, and fears.
