I have always been interested in macroeconomics and its application in assessing the economy. This is why I recently registered for 15.012 - Applied Macro- and International Economics, a course that is offered in the second half of the semester at MIT. This class is being taught by Prof. Chris Foote, a senior economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and a visiting professor at MIT Sloan. He is patient, friendly, animated, enthusiastic, and best of all, funny. He makes an otherwise dry and mechanical subject like macroeconomics interesting and even entertaining. I like the class so much that I actually taking the extra time to read about this subject outside of class. I also find that the tools that I have learned from this class have enabled me to appreciate the Economist better. This is a pretty intense half-semester course but it is a great class and it is definitely worth taking.
