  6. Hey Mr. Raffay, what's going on? Going pretty well over at NYU, taking an introductory macroeconomics class, and I gotta tell you, the class syllabus is identical to what we did last year... we actually covered a lot more. The first 5-6 classes so far have been 100% the same as what you taught last year. I know the stuff so well its just painful to stay awake in that class haha.. Just thought I'd let you know your econ teaching is doing a solid job, so keep it up. I'll talk to you later. ND Economics After MHS
