@uoflecon.bsky.socialGreat post by @scwolla.bsky.social . 26% of college students take an economics course. For half of them, it is their first and last course. What do you want them to know? Only 2% of principles students become majors. We need to teach to the other 98% #teachecon

@mikecoonomics.bsky.socialWhen I taught Game Theory I made sure the prerequisites for the class would not preclude PoliSci majors from taking it as an elective. Nice to see I wasn't the only one.

@peth101.bsky.socialHow does an Economics teacher / professor teach Comparative Advantage and terms of trade to a class when the President of the United States is an absolute moron?
@ryandedwards.bsky.socialBonus points for the answer to what happens to the money supply if the Treasury sells 250,000 of these at $61 per roll of 25
(With M1 at $20 trillion, the answer is “not much,” but it’s still fun for teaching)
