Seventy percent of all figures are animated. Figure animations have been updated to reflect changes to the 19th edition. Self Checks, in the form of several fill-in-the-blank questions at the end of every Learning Objective section, allow students to check their understanding of the key concepts they just read before moving on.
All answers are available in MyLab Economics. Videos for each Issues and Applications section expand on key points and real-world applications of the feature and tie key chapter concepts to real-world examples.
The videos contain visuals such as photos and graphs, which help to crystallize key take-aways for the student. Exercises are graded based on that instance of data, and feedback is provided. Graphs are updated with Real-Time Data from FRED so that students can observe the changing impacts of these important variables on the economy. Digital Interactives. Digital Interactives are dynamic and engaging assessment activities that promote critical thinking and application of key economic principles.
Each Digital Interactive has progressive levels and requires approximately 20 minutes to explore, apply, compare, and analyze each topic.
Many Digital Interactives include real-time data from FRED allowing professors and students to display, in graph and table form, up-to-the-minute data on key macro variables.
Digital Interactives can be assigned and graded within MyLab Economics, or used as a lecture tool to encourage engagement, classroom conversation, and group work.
Personalized Learning. Not every student learns the same way or at the same rate. With the growing need for acceleration through many courses, it's more important than ever to meet students where they learn.
Personalized learning in MyLab Economics gives you the flexibility to incorporate the approach that best suits of your course and your students.
The Study Plan acts as a tutor, providing personalized recommendations for each of your students based on his or her ability to master the learning objectives in your course.
This allows students to focus their study time by pinpointing the precise areas they need to review, and allowing them to use customized practice and learning aids—such as videos, eText, tutorials, and more—to get them back on track.
Using the report available in the Gradebook, you can then tailor course lectures to prioritize the content where students need the most support—offering you better insight into classroom and individual performance.
Dynamic Study Modules help students study effectively on their own by continuously assessing their activity and performance in real time.
Here's how it works: students complete a set of questions with a unique answer format that also asks them to indicate their confidence level.
Questions repeat until the student can answer them all correctly and confidently. Once completed, Dynamic Study Modules explain the concept using materials from the text. These are available as graded assignments prior to class, and accessible on smartphones, tablets, and computers. Instructors can now remove questions from Dynamic Study Modules to better fit their course. Algorithmically generated Homework helps students improve their understanding of the language of economics and prepare for quizzes and tests via instant feedback.
Draw-graph exercises ensure varied and productive practice. News Articles are available for classroom and assignment use and ask students to recognize and apply economic concepts to real-world events. Experiments that are flexible, easy-to-assign, auto-graded, and available in single and multi-player versions, make learning fun and engaging.
Reporting Dashboard. View, analyze, and report learning outcomes clearly and easily, and get the information you need to keep your students on track throughout the course, with the new Reporting Dashboard.
