Abstract: †University of Central Florida I describe a multi-part group policy project in a Principles of Microeconomics course, where students critically analyze an assigned policy.In the first part, students write two letters explaining the policy's motivation, one to a fifth grader and another to a policymaker.The second part involves creating two flyers, one supporting and one opposing the policy.In the final part, students present the policy's outcomes, focusing on unintended consequences, and propose an alternative policy that achieves the same goals while avoiding those consequences, using economic reasoning to support their proposals.
