<p>I wrote that the current economic crisis may have been avoided if people knew how to better manage their finances. So many people took out loans which they should have known that they could not afford, and learning some basic financial skills could have averted the resulting catastrophe. I then qualified, saying that another required course could create scheduling problems for students. Financial skills, therefore, should be integrated into the current economic class curriculum. To those who disagree with taking time away from learning supply and demand and theory of the firm, I asked what could possibly be more practical and fitting than learning financial skills in an economics class.</p>
<p>I thought that I did pretty well, except I realized afterwards that I used the word “impetus” in a totally incorrect context. Oh well. I just looked at my score, I got an 8.</p>
