Offering unlimited opportunities for practice and providing relevant and timely feedback, it helps students master key concepts, experience more "I Get It" moments and ultimately achieve better results. "It's really simple and effective. I would recommend it to any University to use it for all sorts of courses (especially the courses that involve mathematics)."Student at Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, Netherlands "It is like having a teacher by your side, you learn it a lot quicker, than usual homework!"Student at Copenhagen Business School, Denmark For students Personalised study A study plan is generated from each student's results on sample tests and instructor assignments. Students can clearly see which topics they have mastered and, more importantly, which they need to work on. Tests and other MyEconLab comes with two pre-loaded sample tests for each chapter so your students can self-assess their understanding of the material. access to guided solutions, animated graphs, audio narratives, flashcards, current news articles tied to chapter content and graphing tools. For Educators Ready-to-use Use pre-loaded sample tests, or create your own assignments using a mix of MyEconLab problems, the book's Test Bank, and questions written using the Econ Exercise Builder. Automatic MyEconLab grades every homework and quiz question—even those with graphing. Students get unlimited graphing practice and immediate feedback with links to specific learning tools for each question.

Good Lord I overestimated my interest in firms and prices and which insurance is better and all of that and I already started from a very reluctant state. I regard this book + course as Churchill regards his battles: something to see to the very end

Arm yourself with a marker, skip the introductory chapter and you might yet survive the "literary lard" of American and US-inspired textbooks.

It's not all bad; I owe it some fond epiphanies. It's more technical than most textbooks, which means that I finally found out why demand "shifts" (bollocks). Of course, if you try to say that it's a simplified price-and-quantity graphical representation of a multi-variable function and a change in one of the variables other than p or Q results in a different simplified representation, people act as if you go "well, there's a mirror there, the magician isn't actually flying".

Being told that demand "shifts", what, like a restless chicken? That's been messing with my head for years.

Fewer stars for obvious math mistakes, lack of consistency in variable names and overall lack of clarity which might have something to do with microeconomics itself.

It's pretty good

oh how will I miss the weird jokes and quotations...on the other side: This book sucks as much at explaining math, as I do learning it.
