Caracteristici
For Principles of Economics courses.
Questions that drive interest, applications that illustrate concepts, and the tools to test and solidify comprehension.
Students come into their first Economics course thinking they will gain a better understanding of the economy around them. Unfortunately, they often leave with many unanswered questions. To ensure students actively internalize economics, O'Sullivan/Sheffrin/Perez use chapter-opening questions to spark interest on important economic concepts, applications that vividly illustrate those concepts, and chapter-ending tools that test and solidify understanding.
NEW! MyEconLab is now Mac and PC Compatible! All of the end-of-chapter text questions are replicated in MyEconLab with the same numbers to make creating homework easier for instructors, and remediation easier for students. Visit www.myeconlab.com today or see the MyEconLab panel for more information.
Updated. Examples, graphs, and tables have been updated for the sixth edition with the latest data available.
Chapter-opening questions spark students’ interest on important economic concepts. After drawing students into the material, these opening questions are paired with in-chapter applications that bring the economic concept to life. Exercises that test students’ understanding of the questions, concepts and applications appear in the end-of chapter materials.
The 5 key principles of economics show students the logic of economic reasoning and demystify the tools of economics. The 5 principles are first presented in Chapter 2, and then the authors return to these 5 principles throughout the text to remind students of the underlying logic behind newly presented concepts:
1) The Principle of Opportunity Cost
2) The Marginal Principle (comparing marginal benefits and marginal costs)
3) The Principle of Diminishing Returns
4) The Principle of Voluntary Exchange
5) The Real-Nominal Principle (distinguishing real from nominal magnitudes)
Do you or would you like to incorporate economic experiments in your course?
Economic experiments—actively involve the student in role-playing as consumers, producers, and policy makers.
Do you think your current text is too cluttered with boxes and colors that take students’ focus off of the important material?
Streamlined Design with no boxes–the 6th edition of O'Sullivan/Sheffrin/Perez has no boxed features that draw students’ attention away from the core concepts.
All boxed material has been moved to an “application” that flows in the body of the chapter material so it will not distract students and so they will not skip the material.
How do you use your text’s end-of-chapter material?
The end-of-chapter material in 6e is organized around the major sections of the chapter and its applications so the students can better organize his/her study plan.
