Principle of Macroeconomics: A Streamlined Approach

Principles of Macroeconomics: A Streamlined Approach seeks  to promote a deeper understanding of economics by focusing on core  concepts to produce economic naturalists through active learning. By  eliminating overwhelming detail and focusing on core principles,  students from all backgrounds are able to grasp a deeper understanding  of economics. Instead of quantitative detail, the focus is on helping  students become “economic naturalists,” people who employ basic economic  principles to understand and explain the world around them. COVID-19  pandemic content, analysis, and examples further engage students.

Fewer  themes, less math rigor, and a new suite of video resources allow  instructors the flexibility to teach the course they want to teach,  whether it’s adopting a flipped classroom format, administering a course  online, or just bringing more engaging, digital content into their  lectures. Students benefit from more repetition of basic concepts and  support through the interactive resources in Connect, resulting in a  greater mastery and retention of core economic ideas.

With new  videos and engagement tools in Connect, like Application-Based  Activities, alongside SmartBook's adaptive reading experience, the 4th  edition enables instructors to spend class time engaging, facilitating,  and answering questions instead of lecturing on the basics. Connect is  the only integrated learning system that empowers students by  continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they  need it, and how they need it, so that your class time is more engaging  and effective.
