Students will reflect on and integrate their learning and experience through the following activities: 1) Update a personal Reflective Portfolio and complete a series of activities in which they inventory and map courses taken, work experience, and extracurricular activities and identify skills they have attained through this experience; develop an updated resume, a networking website profile, and presentations of themselves as Resource Economists; and explore careers in Resource Economics and identify the skills needed to succeed in those career paths, and 2) Participate in weekly team activi

Designed for students in the social science and business related fields of study. Introduction to basic statistical methods used to collect, summarize, and analyze numerical data. Emphasis on application to decision making; examples from the social sciences and business. Topics include: common statistical notation, elementary probability theory, sampling, descriptive statistics, statistical estimation and hypothesis testing. Basic algebra and familiarity with computer and internet necessary. (Gen.Ed. R2)

The first course in the graduate environmental and natural resource economics sequence. The course covers dynamic optimization with environmental and natural resource applications, the basics of the theory of environmental regulation, and a survey of methods and results from current empirical research in environmental and natural resource economics. Prerequisites include graduate training in microeconomics and econometrics.

The purpose of this course is to present intermediate level microeconomic theory. Primarily we will focus on consumer demand theory and economics of production. Both geometric and mathematical approaches will be presented. This course provides the background necessary for more advanced courses in the department.

Topics include hypothesis testing for two populations, analysis of variance for comparing three or more populations, simple linear regression, topics in multiple regression, and univariate time-series techniques like moving averages and exponential smoothing. Statistical software is used for advanced computations. Basic algebra required.
