New Pedagogies 

I approach my courses as collaborative activities between the 

student and myself. The vast majority of students (especially 

undergraduates) in my courses will never become producers of 

scholarship in international or development economics, so my 

responsibility is to cultivate in students a keen, critical analytical 

capacity in order that they can be responsible, well-informed 

decision-takers, as citizens and as professionals. I accept any 

student into a course with the caution that I do not provide 

remedial instruction on subject’s prerequisite to course 

enrollment. I try to combine testing of students' command of basic 

theory, methods and concepts with opportunities to apply these 

tools in real world situations. I make maximal use of out-of-class 

evaluation techniques. Short papers, take-home exams, problem 

sets, etc. permit students to explore subjects at their own pace 

better than do 50-minute quizzes or 2-hour exams. So where 

possible I tryto provide that flexibility. At the graduate level, takehome 

exams are available for a fixed duration (e.g., 3 days) in a 

one-week window so that students can schedule their exam to suit 

their other commitments.

Building Electronic Class to help meet the scheduling needs of students and help 

facilitate the learning process. 

The course is coordinated through a lecture series carefully designed to 

incorporate different learning styles including verbal, visual, nonverbal, 

auditory, and kinesthetic. Course content is managed electronically (with 

hardcopy backup) using a computerize black-board learning system. While 

the course standardized by catalogue, course level and textbook, the course 

differentiates by customizing: exam, assignments, and lectures based on 

previous semester students feedback. Current assessment includes: 6 

quizzes, 3 test, 1 writing assignment, and 1 final. 

Quantitative methods are used to ensure a well-rounded successful future 

contributing aluminous. The course uses simple statistical 

methods: visualization, classification, and summarization. The course uses 

simple business methods: decision analysis and optimization from a 

marketing perspective. The course uses mathematical techniques: algebra, 

differential geometry, and trigonometry (identities, ratios, and equations) to 

analyze models. Students also use basic calculus (derivative; partial 

derivatives) to understand the marginal relationships.

Quite a bit of the fall semester was devoted to converting my 

ECO 3253 course to a 'Hybrid' format; meaning 50% face-toface, 

and 50% online via Blackboard. 

I even prepared some online materials for ECO 3013; a Fall, 

2010 course. 

I hope to do all of my courses, except ECO 3013, as Hybrid 

courses.
