How I am going to deal with the finals scheduling conflict: is here
I will be posting course material here. As you probably noticed there is a direct link to this post on the right hand side of the blog. The material posted here is for: Econ 215: Money and Banking Spring 2011; T-TH 8:00-9:15
Room PH154
I can be reached at: andrew.a.bossie@gmail.com Office Hours: Tuesday and Thursday: 7:00 to 8:00 and 10:40-11:00 If I am not in the classroom (PH154) I will be in the adjunct office in the economics department: PH300B. If it is before 9:00ish you have to call me on the phone outside of the economics department. Usually I can hear you if you knock, as well.

Final Prep:
**I had promised to have the problem set posted on Thursday afteroon, and I did. Blogger then went down for some reason and they erased all of Thursday's new post. Anyway they had said they would restore the posts and they haven't. I apologize, this is kind of terrible timing.
We will over over both tests on Tuesday May 17th
There is some overlap with the homework, but I wanted to give you a complete final so you can get a sense of what they are like. Obviously there are no questions about the readings.
Final Chapters: 5, 6, 10, 14, 15 and readings.
