Teaching Financial Economics

On the agenda for April's EconEdChat were 3 questions:

1. What are the most common misconceptions do students have in Economics and how can we avoid them?

2. What do teachers need to know before teaching Financial Economics?

3. How are teachers tackling TAGs?

This post focuses on the second question. You can find the first question here.
