A great initiative and all the best . I cannot wait to see the outcome. Have a great semester and keep enjoying teaching, inspiring, guiding and mentoring students by making Economics relevant to their lives .

I'm interested in seeing how you move your students from being Irrational Subjects towards becoming Rational Actors. That point where it clicks in their throught process and you see it in their expression when it connects.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the quote and best wishes. I hope you are having a happy start to the year.

Excellent idea — I love building a community!

Also, my early Econ professors (specifically Dr. Randy Parker at ECU — RIP) made the courses and material relevant and engaging. I consider that a significant reason why I decided to pursue an economics degree.

Thank you, Michael. By the way, I was catching up on Marketplace radio episodes I missed while on break. The Dec 24th episode has a lot of content that aligns with your interest.

Love this idea, Dr. A. I'm excited to see how it turns out for you. I have a feeling DEFF is going to be a great source of inspiration.
