COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course begins with an introduction to economic thoughts, models. Then this will be followed
by supply and demand and the basic forces that determine an equilibrium in a market economy. Next, it
introduces a framework for learning about consumer behavior and analyzing consumer decisions. We then
turn our attention to firms and their decisions about optimal production, and the impact of different market
structures on firms' behavior.
By the end of the course, students will be able to understand introductory microeconomic theory,
solve basic microeconomic problems, and use these techniques to think about a number of policy questions
relevant to the operation of the real economy.

AUDIENCE
The course is intended for fifth year BS Accountancy.

TEACHING LEARNING STRATEGIES AND ASSESSMENT METHODS

The different teaching and learning strategies that will be used in order to attain the intended learning
outcomes are enumerated and described below:

MICROTEACHING Micro teaching occurs when a teacher works with a small group of students
for a short period of time. This usually happens with a group of 5 to 10 students for a period of 5 to
10 minutes, according to M.J. Lakshmi, author of "Microteaching and Prospective Teachers." For
example, micro teaching occurs when a teacher works with small groups of students she has formed
based on their reading ability. Micro lesson planning happens when a teacher creates individual
classroom activities that occur on a day-to-day basis.
MACROTEACHING - Macro teaching occurs when a teacher provides instruction to the entire
class at one time for an extended period of time, usually longer than 10 minutes. It is a primary
method of transmitting information which can be a talk, address or any other type of verbal
presentation to students by the instructor/professor. Its uses or value includes creating interest in a
topic or subject; transmitting knowledge to students; presenting students with new information,
explanation, interpretation, and generalization; helping students clarify and gain a better
understanding of a subject, topic, matter or event; and organizing and systematizing knowledge.
INTERACTIVE LEARNING It is another widely used method of teaching which is usually
intermingled with lecture. Its uses or value includes transmitting knowledge to students; assisting
students in organizing knowledge and developing concepts and generalizations; answering students
questions; clarifying understanding; showing how to solve a problem or do something; giving

{Syllabus in Microeconomics Theory and Applications) First Semester, A.Y. 2017-2018 Page 5 of 13 }
students opportunity to interact with each other and with the instructor/professor; and improving
students ability to speak on a subject, to organize thoughts and to communicate effectively.
DIMENSIONAL QUESTION APPROACH It is another universal method of teaching which
is also known as the Socratic Method. It is impossible to consider adequately methods of teaching
without recognizing the question as an essential element in all teaching procedures. The question
is the key to all educative activity above the habit-skill level. Questions challenge thought and test
the students knowledge.
PROBLEM SOLVING METHOD It is a process of raising reflective thinking in arriving at a
rational solution of the problem. It primarily develops the thinking and reasoning power of the
students. Reflective thinking is characterized by a process of careful consideration of facts, beliefs
or other items of mental experience for the purpose of arriving at rational conclusions about some
problems or perplexity.
STUDY TYPE METHOD Induction is the process of reasoning from the particular to the general.
The inductive method is a procedure through which one may arrive at a fact, principle, truth or
generalization.
FILM SHOWING This presents the actual scenario through video clips. It is consider one of the
most effective means of transmitting the information since most of the senses were used in learning
process.
SIMULATION- This method is use to experience by the students the theory presented. Commonly
this is done before the concept introduced to deduct every details of their experience.
PEER TEACHING It is a relatively new approach to teaching and learning. In this approach,
students work on activities in small, heterogeneous groups, and they receive rewards or recognition
based on the overall group performance. Students tutor one another so that everyone can succeed
and each is accountable for learning.
PROJECT It is an individual or collaborative enterprise, possibly involving research or design
that is carefully planned, usually by the project assigned team, to achieve a particular aim.
SYMPOSIA, AND SEMINARS. A course with different speakers at each class, here we are
using it to mean a small, discussion-based course. In a seminar course, students do assigned
reading and then, under your guidance and direction, grapple aloud with the ideas theyve read.
They learn to form arguments and support them with facts; they learn to communicate coherently
and courteously with those who disagree.
BRAINSTORMING- It is the process of generating creative ideas and solutions through intensive
and freewheeling group discussion. Every participant is encouraged to think aloud and suggest as
many ideas as possible, no matter seemingly how outlandish or bizarre. Analysis, discussion, or
criticism of the aired ideas is allowed only when the brainstorming session is over and evaluation
session begins. See also lateral thinking and nominal group technique.
CASE STUDY Students should learn how to observe carefully, to reason out, to solve problems
to analyse cases systematically. The case method helps the students to be more independent-minded
and self-reliant, develop their analytic power and cultivate the good habit or research. The case
method would, thus, be one of the answers to the need for more innovative methods of teaching at
college level, especially methods that generate maximum participation of students, skills in critical
thinking and analysis, accuracy in expression and decision making.

COURSE POLICIES
The following items are given as a guide in the conduct of the course:
Students will be graded according to the university policy

Regular Attendance
Upon attending the first class session, the student shall present his/her registration form to the
instructor/professor to check if he/she really belongs to the class.
Prompt and regular attendance of students is required. Total unexcused absences shall not exceed
six class hours (i.e., six times for one-hour class session or four times for one-and-a-half-hour class session).
Students exceeding six class hours of absences before Midterm Examination shall be dropped from the class
roll; they shall be given a failing grade if such absences are incurred after the Midterm Examination.
Tardiness of students will not be tolerated. A student who arrives late in class for 10 minutes or less
is considered tardy. Four instances of tardiness is equivalent to one absence. A student who reports in class
after the grace period of ten minutes is considered absent. A student who cuts class session is also considered
absent. Students who cut classes, who accumulated four times or more of tardiness, or who have three or
more absences will be referred to the Guidance Office for counselling.

Performance Activity
During the start of each lecture, the instructor will discuss the preliminary concepts about the
subject matter. Upon the conduct of the discussion, the instructor may have recitation, board works, and seat
works. There is no right or wrong answer for individual recitation. Every answer will have a one point mark
in their recitation. In case the questions were raise in the class and be answered by group (typically answerable
by Yes or No), those who got the correct answer will got another points. At the end of the semester, the total
points earned will be added to the lowest grade given by the instructor. Board works will be credited in the
recitation.

Portfolio
Portfolio is the compilation of all seat works and assignment given within the semester. Other
output of the course like reports, quizzes and the likes will also be included in the portfolio. Students are
required to compile all of the output in an envelope and submit at the end of the semester.
In terms of seat works and assignment, there will be 6 seat works and or assignment given to the
class.
The students will be graded based on the following:
