So I'm taking summer courses at UMD. Since I have 3 courses left to completel my core requirements, I could either do those, or try to get some of my Economics courses out of my way for my major. The first set of courses will more than likely be substantially harder than the second set, and I will be working 20-30 hours a week on top of this.
I can choose the following schedules. Note Summer Sessions I and II combined consist of one choice.
Summer Session 1
ECON305 Intermediate Macroeconomic Theory and Policy
-Analysis of the determination of national income, employment, and price levels. Discussion of consumption, investment, inflation, and government fiscal and monetary policy.
ECON306 Intermediate Microeconomic Theory
-Analysis of the theories of consumer behavior and of the firm, market systems, distribution theory and the role of externalities.
Summer Session II
ECON321 Economic Statistics
-Introduction to the use of statistics in economics. Topics include: Probability, random variables and their distributions, sampling theory, estimation, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, regression analysis and correlation.
ECON340 International Economics
-A description of international trade and the analysis of international transactions, exchange rates, and balance of payments. Analysis of policies of protection, devaluation, and exchange rate stabilization and their consequences.

Summer Session I
MUSC205 History of Rock Music, 1950 - Present
-A historical survey of rock music from about 1950 to the present, with emphasis on pop music as music and pop music as social history.
PHIL280 Introduction to Cognitive Science
-The role of representation and reasoning in cognition considered from the differing perspectives of the cognitive-science disciplines: linguistics, philosophy, neuroscience, psychology and computer science. Are brains nothing more (or less) than wet-ware computers? If this were so, would that mean that other kinds of computers can be self-aware, or that our mental activities are purely mechanical? Such questions are at the center of the study of cognitive science, and this course offers the undergraduate student an introduction to the origins and findings of the field
Summer Session II
PHIL170 Introduction to Logic
-Development of analytical reasoning skills through study of formal logics, reasoning systems, and fallacious inference patterns.
BSCI120 Insects
-A survey of the major groups of insects, their natural history, and their relationships with humans and their environment.
