Hello All! I am looking forward to working with you this semester. You may call me Al (that’s spelled ay-el, not ay-eye). My pronouns are they/them. I have been teaching at BMCC since Spring 2019 and before that, I’ve taught at NYU and The New School since 2015. I’m really grateful to be working here with the committed faculty and students I have met. I believe that anyone can learn economics because everybody engages with their local economy as part of daily living!
Please respond in a comment below to introduce yourself. To do so click “Leave a Comment” up top. Please note, everything posted to this website is viewable to the entire BMCC OpenLab community and potentially searchable by the public. If you prefer, you’re welcome to email me instead but please do respond. Please include responses to any or all of the following:
- Your Name (as registered)
- Your Nickname (how you want to be addressed in class)
- Pronoun (how you want to be addressed in addition to your name, usually “he,” “she,” “they,” or “name only (no pronoun)” but there are many other options)
- Why you are taking this class
- Something that helps you learn
- Something you enjoy
For instance: My name is Alexandria Eisenbarth, I go by Al. You can also call me “professor” or “Mx. Eisenbarth” if you want, but I do NOT like to be called “Mr.” or “Mrs.” or “Ms.” or “miss.” My pronouns are they/them. I teach this class because a money-paying job is required to access the necessaries of living in our economy in the absence of personal wealth and because I really love helping people access this language of power in ways that are relevant to their own life. I learn best through experiences and prefer a visual/auditory combo if learning-by-doing isn’t available. It is difficult for me to learn when my experiences and memories are not given credibility. I like to crochet, play music, garden, bike, and embark upon personal spiritual growth.

Hello guys, My name is Ricky Bazile
I am taking this course because it is required for my major but also i want to learn about economics so that i could better understand the market, how things really work. Something that helps me learn is getting enough time to process the information. I enjoy learning new things that I am passionate about, such as playing an instrument, skating, etc… but more importantly being free so that i could decide whenever i would like to do a specific thing.
Hello class! my name is elian ramirez. you guys can call me eli if its more comfortable with you. I am taking economics because it is required for my degree to graduate. i am also completely new to economics but it seems a subject worth learning. I learn best when i have full focus and attention to the subject I’m learning. its easy to get distracted now a days but i try my best to keep focus in school. i enjoy playing video games as well as taking photos.
