What This Document Is
This document contains a makeup exam for Introductory Microeconomics (ECON 1110) at Cornell University, administered in Spring 2009. It’s designed to assess student understanding of core microeconomic principles covered in the first prelim. The exam is a closed-book assessment, meaning no external materials are permitted during the test.
Why This Document Matters
This makeup exam is valuable for students who missed the original prelim or need additional practice with the course material. It serves as a strong indicator of the types of questions and the level of difficulty students can expect on graded assessments in this introductory microeconomics course. It’s particularly useful for self-assessment and identifying areas where further study is needed.
