This has been my favorite economics class I have taken at midd, not necessarily because the topics were super interesting to me but because prof. holmes made the class so enjoyable and made you want to learn and be interested in the class. The daily readings accompanied by the reading quiz every few classes were the majority of the work throughout the semester outside of the big project.

This course is 80% about a final project where a group of three works on a selected topic and write a report. Lots of research required for this project. Reading is assigned every week and is quizzed. Grading is lenient enough to alleviate some stress at the end. We are asked to present in a room at the Vermont legislature building. Mildly recommended for someone interested in health economics and don’t mind doing some research.

Great j-term course--light econ elective. First off, course is taught by two profs, Holmes and Lunge (Dartmouth)--whom are both apart of the Green Mountain Care Board. Most of the content dealt with this class revolved around their work, which was interesting as they gave an internal perspective. Lots of mock trials, which are very low-stakes.
