2. Question 1
Do new tools need to be taught? More emphasis on some topics (mortgage finance, bubble detection methods, etc.)? Have some changes already taken place? Has research on the crisis fed into our teaching?

3. Question 2
Should housing be taught in real estate programs only? In finance programs? In economics programs?

4. Question 3
If the curriculum had been different would this have softened the crisis? Moving forward, will we be better the next time around?

5. Question 4
Are regulatory authorities more to blame than educators? Who else is to blame?

6. Thank you!
