ECON 480 Preliminary Survey
This is an ungraded and anonymous survey (hence the google form, rather than email or Blackboard) for me to evaluate the distribution of your math and statistics backgrounds. You only need to write your FINAL answers here, feel free to download the PDF and work out the problems on paper first. Please complete all problems to the best of your ability. Your responses will help me craft the course to see which material we need to focus on at greater length, especially review material.
