Oster, Yale University. Description For the one-semester course in Principles of Microeconomics. Personalize Learning with MyEconLab MyEconLab is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results.
Animated graphs in MyEconLab accompany many of the key graphs and figures in the text, helping students better understand how to analyze and work with graphs. More dynamic than graphs on a printed page, they help students understand shifts in curves, movements along curves, and changes in equilibrium values.
Generate class discussion, guide your lecture, and promote peer-to-peer learning with real-time analytics. Instructors, you can: Pose a variety of questions that help your students develop critical thinking skills Monitor responses to find out where students are struggling Use real-time data to adjust your instructional strategy and try other ways of engaging your students during class Manage student interactions by automatically grouping students for discussion, teamwork, and peer-to-peer learning Digital Interactives are designed to change how students learn core economic concepts.
Organized in progressive levels, each focusing on a core learning outcome, Digital Interactives immerse students in a fundamental economic principle, helping them to learn actively. Digital Interactives are designed for use in traditional, online, and hybrid courses, and many incorporate real-time data, as well as data display and analysis tools. Each of these is available as a lecture tool for classroom presentation and are assignable with assessment questions for grading.
Dynamic Study Modules help students study effectively on their own by continuously assessing their activity and performance in real time.
Here's how it works: students complete a set of questions with a unique answer format that also asks them to indicate their confidence level. Questions repeat until the student can answer them all correctly and confidently. Once completed, Dynamic Study Modules explain the concept using materials from the text. These are available as graded assignments prior to class, and accessible on smartphones, tablets, and computers.
Math Review Exercises. MyEconLab now offers a rich array of assignable and auto-graded exercises covering fundamental math concepts geared specifically to principles of and intermediate economics students. Aimed at increasing student confidence and success, our new math skills review Chapter R is accessible from the assignment manager and contains over graphing, algebra, and calculus exercises for homework, quiz, and test use.
Offering economics students warm-up math assignments, math remediation, or math exercises as part of any content assignment has never been easier!
Students can display a pop-up graph that shows new data plotted in the graph, to better understand how to work with data and understand how including new data affects graphs. The end-of-chapter problems in select chapters include Real-Time Data Exercises that use the latest data from FRED to help students become familiar with this key data source, learn how to locate data, and develop skills in interpreting data.
Current News Exercises. Every week, current Microeconomic and Macroeconomic news stories, with accompanying exercises, are posted to MyEconLab. Assignable and auto-graded, these multi-part exercises ask students to recognize and apply economic concepts to real-world events. An Enhanced eText keeps students engaged in learning on their own time, while helping them achieve greater conceptual understanding of course material.
The worked examples bring learning to life, and algorithmic practice allows students to apply the very concepts they are reading about. Combining resources that illuminate content with accessible self-assessment, MyEconLab with Enhanced eText provides students with a complete digital learning experience—all in one place.
Experiments are a fun and engaging way to promote active learning and mastery of important economic concepts. Single-player experiments allow your students to play against virtual players from anywhere at any time so long as they have an Internet connection. Multiplayer experiments allow you to assign and manage a real-time experiment with your class. Pre- and post-questions for each experiment are available for assignment in MyEconLab.
Question Help. MyEconLab's homework and practice questions are correlated to the textbook; they generate algorithmically to give students unlimited opportunity for practice and mastery, and offer helpful feedback when students enter incorrect answers. Questions include guided solutions and other multimedia assets for extra help at point-of-use.
Figure Animations. Key textbook figures are accompanied by a step-by-step animation, with audio, to help students learn the intuition behind reading and interpreting graphs. These animations may be used for review, or as an instructional aid in the classroom. For each major figure, a graph drawing exercise accompanies the step-by-step animation.
The student builds and interprets the key diagrams and develops understanding by working a multiple choice question about the figure. Reporting Dashboard. View, analyze, and report learning outcomes clearly and easily, and get the information you need to keep your students on track throughout the course, with the new Reporting Dashboard.
Available via the Gradebook and fully mobile-ready, the Reporting Dashboard presents student performance data at the class, section, and program levels in an accessible, visual manner.
Students can also continue to upload images such as phone-photos of handwritten work. Printing enhancements include: a more pen-and-paper-friendly layout of exercises the ability for instructors to choose whether to print the header; to include an honor statement; and to print with answers inline, after each question, or on a separate sheet About the Book Spotlights Recent Research NEW!
Chapter 3 uses behavioral economics to ask whether having unusually sunny weather increases consumer purchases of convertible cars. Chapter 6 looks at data from Indian reservations to trace out the incidence of excise taxes. Chapter 7 describes how Uber drivers differ from regular cab drivers.
Chapter 15 describes a recent paper that asks how much value does an increased variety in shoe selection produce for consumers? The Enhanced eText keeps students engaged in learning on their own time, while helping them achieve greater conceptual understanding of course material. The worked examples, animations, and interactive tutorials bring learning to life, and algorithmic practice allows students to apply the very concepts they are reading about.
Combining resources that illuminate content with accessible self-assessment, MyLab Economics with Enhanced eText provides students with a complete digital learning experience--all in one place. Personalized Learning. Not every student learns the same way or at the same rate. With the growing need for acceleration through many courses, it's more important than ever to meet students where they learn.
Personalized learning in MyLab Economics gives you the flexibility to incorporate the approach that best suits of your course and your students. The Study Plan acts as a tutor, providing personalized recommendations for each of your students based on his or her ability to master the learning objectives in your course. This allows students to focus their study time by pinpointing the precise areas they need to review, and allowing them to use customized practice and learning aids--such as videos, eText, tutorials, and more--to get them back on track.
Using the report available in the Gradebook, you can then tailor course lectures to prioritize the content where students need the most support--offering you better insight into classroom and individual performance. Dynamic Study Modules help students study effectively on their own by continuously assessing their activity and performance in real time.
Here's how it works: students complete a set of questions with a unique answer format that also asks them to indicate their confidence level. Questions repeat until the student can answer them all correctly and confidently.
