[PEN-L:6901] intro macro textbook?

[Blair Sandler <blairs@xxxxxxx>]

Hi, folks:

Next spring I'll be teaching intro macro at UC extension (evening class)
and I get to choose the textbook! I've been working as contract labor, and
this is the first time I get to choose my own textbook. My excitement at
this FREEDOM OF CHOICE :) is tempered only by the accompanying realization
of my ignorance. I've not taught intro macro previously, only intro micro
and intermediate micro and macro (of the "core curriculum"). So...

I would really appreciate it if people would offer their opinions about
what textbooks they've used that have worked well. More generally, I would
be entirely grateful if people wanted to share course syllabi with me, or
even ideas and general perspectives about teaching intro macro.

In light of the pending blackout on US PENLers, perhaps people would be so
kind as to email directly to me. I would then be happy to share these posts
or a summary with anyone else who requested it of me.

Thanks in advance.

Blair
