Final Exam Questions

Ok, folks, we’re near the end.  It’s been a rough journey but we’re close.

Here’s what I want you to do for the “final exam”.   I am listing three questions below.  I want you to answer them on your blog by creating a post.  You can either create a single post with your answers to all 3 questions OR make 3 separate posts.  Please Title your post as “Final Exam Responses” or “Final Exam Response 1”, “Final Exam Response 2”,  etc.  Take your time and think about your answers.  There is no time limit per se.  Simply

Question 1:

What is the most (or one of the most) significant, insightful, or helpful comments that a fellow student made. Why? How did it help, change, or open your thinking. Find a comment, post, or book project post created by one of your fellow students and explain to us why you liked it and what you took away from it.  Be sure to link or reference the comment/post/book project in your comment.  Feel free to quote from it.

Question 2:

What is the most significant thing you learned during your readings and thinking in this course. What or how has your thinking changed?  (if you feel you covered this in an earlier reflection post on your blog, feel free to simply edit that post and add “Final Exam Response 2” to the title and be done with this one)

Question 3:

Imagine the future. What do you see as the greatest challenge facing society (related in any way to economic systems) over the coming 10 to 20 years.  Why? How does the system need to change to respond to it? Please take some time to think this through and perhaps go deeper.  For example, suppose you think responding to climate change is the major challenge. In that case, don’t just talk about how threatening climate change might be, but talk about what we need to change in the economic system so that we can respond effectively to it.

That’s it.
