Spring 2024 - This seminar is extremely enlightening and insightful. It depicts how Econ 11 concepts can be applied to the realms of crime and justice. Assignments were to read research papers, however, some of them can get quite long an hard to interpret. Meetings happened biweekly with a fruitful class discussion regarding the papers, and an end-of-quarter paper is due on a topic of your choice.

Fall 2019 - I really enjoyed taking Econ 89 with Mazzocco. The only way to enrol in his class is to also concurrently enrol in his Econ 11 course and email him when he provides details about it during his first lecture of Econ 11 but I would highly recommend it. The workload is very light, read the assigned article before class which only occurred every other week for two hours. At the end of the course, we had to write a one-pager about what we liked and learned about the course. I would definitely recommend this seminar to anyone in his Econ 11 course.
