    Your task is to do a close reading of a public document, summarize it, and then analyze its rhetorical situation. Use the sample rhetorical analysis from the textbook (pages 57-60) as a flexible guide—not as a rigid model. Your analysis will contain a few more features than the one found in the book. How you organize your analysis will depend in part on the writing you choose and in part on the decisions you make about how to arrange the parts of your analysis.…

    Economics is a powerful tool for understanding human behavior. In Microeconomics we develop a logical framework to analyze and understand decision making by individual consumers and businesses and the effects those decisions have on the marketplace. At the semester’s end you will have a better understanding of how markets work, how prices are determined, how markets react to shortages and surpluses, why profits are important, and how government is involved in the economy. Classroom attendance is strongly recommended. Much of the material is quite analytical and students will spend considerable time devoted to the material outside of class to successfully complete the course. The exams are designed to challenge even the best of students. They require logic and problem solving ability. Memorization will be of no value in this course. The ability to read and understand graphs is basic.…
