This very successful textbook is distinguished by a superior writing style that draws upon common reader experiences to introduce economic concepts, making economic theory more accessible and interesting. "Case Studies" and numerous examples take advantage of readers' intuitive knowledge of economics, building upon real-life situations. Microeconomics Interactive Text by William McEachern combines the original textbook with rich multimedia, real-time updates, exercises, self-assessment tests, note-taking tools, and much more. This combination of print and online material provides learners with active learning tools and tutorials, and helps instructors shorten preparation time and improve instruction. The Interactive Text offers a complete technology teaching solution that integrates all of the media together in one seamless package – no “assembly” is required. Microeconomics Interactive Text consists of two components: a Print Companion and an Online Companion, seamlessly integrated to provide an easy-to-use teaching and learning experience. The Print Companion is a paperback textbook that includes the core content from the original textbook. All time-sensitive pedagogical features and materials at the end of chapters have been moved from the printed textbook to the Online Companion. The Online Companion provides a dedicated Web site featuring all of the core content from the Print Companion combined with integrated, interactive learning resources, self-assessment tests, note-taking features, and basic course-management tools that enable instructors to create and manage a syllabus, track learner self-assessment scores, broadcast notes to learners, and send electronic messages to learners.
