Christa's Class Update

I know that last week we had a brief discussion about the pace of the course and limited discussion time. I haven’t yet had a chance to review the midterm course evaluations which may include suggestions for ensuring that we cover our material and have in-depth discussions.

In advance of reviewing the midterm course evaluations, I would like to suggest that we take a few steps to maximize our class time:

1) begin promptly at 6 pm (I will start talking at 6; I am totally fine with folks eating while we have class)

2) have a very short break (5 mins for bathroom)

3) use notecards for questions as we did once before

4) for tomorrow evening: I will summarize main points from the economic policy/budgeting chapter and we will move to health care after break; we will continue with health care into next week in order to engage in discussion about this significant policy area

thanks for your understanding~
