I took this class with Tracey Snodden at WLU, and I honestly really enjoyed it due to its interactive structure. While mostly lecture slides, the professor would encourage participation through exit tickets and collaboration. I felt like I was back in high school!
The course focuses on public expenditures done by both corporations and society alike, with an emphasis on the idea of equity and efficiency. Content-wise, much of it builds off of Econ 101, going back to the ideas of supply/demand, utility, benefits/costs, and rivalry/excludability. This in mind, it's not difficult to do well if you attend every class.
