  • Textbook: N. Gregory Mankiw, Macroeconomics (11th edition), Macmillan

  • Course Description: Macroeconomics is concerned with how the overall economy works, and the questions that motivate this field are of utmost importance to governments and policymakers across the globe. In this intermediate-level course, we will first study: (1) the Keynesian and Classical views on the determinants of an economy's aggregate output and employment, (2) each school of thought’s view on the role of government interventions in stabilizing the economy, and (3) the grounds on which these views were challenged. We will then discuss some theories of economic growth. These theories offer insights into the factors that cause an economy's aggregate output to grow over time, and why some countries are more prosperous than others.

  • Textbook: Gwartney et al., Microeconomics, Private and Public Choice (17th edition), Cengage

  • Course Description: Economics is the study of how people make choices due to scarcity of resources.  This class will focus on the market system of economic choice.  We will analyze how individuals, or relatively small groups of individuals, involved in the market system make choices and how society's economic activities are organized.  We will also investigate how government policy impacts market outcomes. John M. Keynes, a distinguished economist, wrote “Economics does not furnish a body of settled conclusions immediately applicable to policy.  It is a method rather than a doctrine, an apparatus of the mind, a technique of thinking which helps its possessor to draw correct conclusions.” As such, the general objective of the course is to provide you with analytical tools to apply to microeconomic problems that you will encounter every day. 

Mr. Choe is one of the best teachers that I've had at FSU. His calm, structured, and sequential style of teaching really helped me to grasp the material. I thought it was very useful when he would review the previous day's lesson at the beginning of each lecture. My favorite part of his class was the in-class problems. I really enjoyed how Mr. Choe would let us work through problems on our own, ask for help if necessary, and then walk through the answers together. I also appreciated his efforts at student participation and engagement, such as when he called students up to explain problems or interacted with students throughout his lecture. Reviewing multiple examples of each type of problem together was extremely helpful for understanding the material. Finally, Mr. Choe himself was incredibly kind and helpful towards us students. He made an effort to learn our names, ask us questions, and prepare us well for his tests. He even asked students for feedback on his teaching in the middle of the course, something incredibly wise that I haven't had any other professor try to do. For a grad student, Mr. Choe was an exponentially better teacher than many of my other full-time professors at FSU.
