“I used Microeconomics and Behavior by Robert Frank several years ago and found it too wordy. When I switched to Goolsbee, I never looked back. It is at the right level for me. My students never complained about Goolsbee in terms of the level of difficulty of the material.” — Tomson Ogwang, Brock University
“The ordering of the material, inclusions of mathematical appendices, and the flexibility of the Achieve system make a great product that I have not found a rival of within this space. I think all work well together and provide students with a very nice, structured, learning environment.” — Kevin E. Henrickson, Gonzaga University
“I like how Achieve and the book works together to meet students where they are and move them forward in their understanding. This book also enables me to complement (rather than substitute for) the book/Achieve content and provides students with several approaches, all working together to assist them.” — Kevin E. Henrickson, Gonzaga University
“I love this book. It is readable and allows students with different types of learning to excel.” — Jennifer VanGlider, Ursinus College
“Students love Freakonomics. They constantly want more real life. This gives them that satisfaction and gets them talking about the theory without even knowing that they are doing it.” — Jennifer VanGlider, Ursinus College
