Course Narrative: This class is very important as it teaches us how to manage our money. This class helped me understand the socioeconomic aspect of life. This is a very important class in relation to the subject of business. This means that it is a guide to learning how to manage everything that has to do with money. Some examples are the procedures to find a home or car insurance, principles on how to buy a home, what is credit, and its importance, and many interesting topics related to our economic wealth. For my final project my partners and I created a website for students who are in their first year of college. On this page you will find help on how to manage your money better, as well as what programs are available at school so you don't spend too much money on school supplies. I wish I could've take this class at the beginning of my journey in CSUMB. It would've helped a lot to learn about programs that assist you with school supplies.
