This class decided to kill two birds with one stone. This course counted towards an elective on my economics minor, but it also fulfills the Historical and Contemporary or Behavioral and Social Perspective.

My main takeaway from this class was how to interpret more difficult readings involving economic topics happening today. For example, we talked about a soda tax, unemployment, minimum wage increasing, and many more. Overall, the main point of this class was to take these different articles from well known publishers and tear them apart to find bullshit. We had three different strategies for finding it which included scientific reasoning, economic principles, and data analytics. If it involved all of these in a good manner, then the article was not phony. 

My artifact for this perspective is my last article evaluator for the semester. I had to choose two articles with opposing views to examine. We had a template to go by, and had to lists strengths and weaknesses along with the main conclusions from each article.
