AP Macroeconomics

 
Course Description
  • Macroeconomics is the study of large-scale economies, usually at the national level or international level.
  • In AP Macro, we'll be learning the basics of how a national economy works.
        • Inflation, Unemployment, GDP / Output, interest paid and received are all big themes in the course.
  • We'll also cover a lot of really important topics that form what I have called "Adulting 101"
        • such as avoiding inflation, understanding the Federal Reserve's actions and what they do in the economy, and much more
 
Class Policies and Procedures
    • No Late Work Accepted
    • Missed Assignments due to absence are to be made up by 5 days after they were due. (RCS Policy)
        • Speak to Mr. Rundberg when you return to school, and we'll come up with a plan (especially with a missed test)
    • No Phones in class unless called for, Laptops are a privilege that can be revoked if misused in class
 
No Shame!  -   Macro can be a difficult class due since much of this material is brand new for high school students.
  • If you find yourself needing extra help, you should come see Mr. Rundberg for extra resources and extra help!
 
Course Goals
  • The goal of the course is to foster understanding about the economy as a whole in students.
  • I like to say that this is a part of the "Adulting 101" curriculum given how much of this material applies directly to students' current and future experience in the economy.
  • Prepare students to earn a strong score on the AP Macroeconomics Exam in the Spring
  • Fulfill the Central Magnet and State of Tennessee graduation requirements for High School Students
