[PEN-L:11535] Urban & Regional Econ: Help!

[BHOPE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

An unusual set of cosmic forces has propelled me into a new teaching
assignment: Urban and Regional Economics.  This is a senior level course with a
prerequisite of intermediate microecon theory.  Enrollment will probably be
between 10 and 15.

If PEN-Lers can provide some suggestions, text recommendation, journals,
readings, web-sites, etc to consult I would be most grateful.  It would be nice
to identify some core readings and built the course from there.  With a
relatively small class I would like to have students work on case studies, have
student presentations, and a class forum which minimize lectures and emphasizes
class discussion and student interaction.

I will happy to post my syllabus to PEN-L when I get-it-together. (Hopefully
with your assistance!)

Other: Michael P. and I are teaching a section of our Writing Proficiency
course for our majors.  It looks like we'll assign Doug H's Wall Street book as
part of the course.

Please post your suggestions to PEN-L.  Thank you.
