Publisher Description

ABSTRACT Students perceive economics principles courses to be difficult, yet they expect to do relatively well in these courses. For example, a majority of students responding to a survey administered in economics principles courses believed economics to be relatively difficult. In spite of this, these students expected to receive a grade of at least 3.0 in these courses. Two sources - overly optimistic expectations and signaling--may explain these unrealistic expectations.
