UNIT ONE
A TYPICAL STUDENT IN ECONOMICS
A. TEXT
John is a 1st year student in Economics at “Danubius” University , Galatz. He
is not only delighted with the entire learning environment directly connected to
student agenda, but also very pleased with his activity as a student here, at this
university. He considers himself as a future economist and this is precisely why he
is used to thinking in economic terms. As Abraham Maslow, an early management
thinker, puts it in his famous “ pyramid o needs”, the first things that people
consider are those they directly need. It is only after satisfying the most important
needs that other necessities will appear. To cut a long story short, this University
provides him with topnotch learning conditions (in terms of hand-books and
documentary materials) and with the best teaching conditions (as far as he can
remember the staff in here is entirely made up of doctors (Ph.D.s) and trainees for a
doctor’s degree (Ph.D. in Progress), be they junior or senior assistants, lectures,
readers or university professors).
