REVIEW EXERCISES

In order to do well in an economics course you must practice. Many students have read the book, maybe more than once, and failed the exams. Think of economics like a you would a math class. You would never just read a math textbook and not do any problems before taking an exam. If you did you would probably fail. I am not saying that there is a lot of math (but some) in this course, but you must do problems or you will not really learn the concepts. DO PROBLEMS.

BEGIN WITH:

  • PREQUIZZES
  • REQUIRED ACTIVITIES and
  • YELLOW PAGES (Be sure to check your answers. Answers are on Blackboard)

I have also prepared many extra practice activities for you. ALL can be found on our Blackboard site in a section of the main menu called: AFTER CLASS. There you will find the following:

Also, there are review quizzes (Thinkwell Exercises) for most of the online video lectures (VIDEO LOGIN)

Study Guide and Textbook Practice Questions:
There are also good questions found in our textbook, the textbook website, and in the optional textbook Study guide that you may purchase (paperback, or online for about $15, see syllabus). I have reviewed these sources and selected problems that we have covered inour readings and videos and that will be similar to those found on the exams and quizzes.
