Publisher's Synopsis
In August 2006, we are launching a streamlined version of MyEconLab to better fit the needs of both students and professors. Order the ISBN above if your course begins before 8/1/06, or click here if your course begins after 8/1/06.
Foundations of Microeconomics was developed on the premise that economics is a core competency for the responsible citizen and a foundation tool for every type of career.
The Bade/Parkin package is designed to encourage learning by doing. Each chapter concentrates on a manageable number of core concepts that are called out in the beginning-of-chapter Checklist. Students know what they're expected to learn and are given the chance to apply those lessons to real-world problems.
Practice is the cornerstone of the innovative Bade/Parkin approach. A full page Checkpoint-containing a Practice Problem with solution and a parallel Exercise-immediately follows each main idea. Checkpoints serve as stopping points and encourage students to practice using a concept before moving on.
Different learning styles need different learning tools, and Bade/Parkin's extensive and tightly integrated web environment puts students in the driver's seat and allows them to use technology in the way that suits them best.
