Boost your OpenStax course experience with Achieve Essentials for Openstax Economics 2e
Achieve Essentials for OpenStax Economics 2e enhances the OpenStax course with an affordable, homework-focused option that makes it easy for instructors to build assignments that support their course goals.
Achieve Essentials for OpenStax Economics 2e centers on Macmillan Learning’s popular assessment engine, originally developed by Sapling Learning, which combines Pre-Class Tutorials and Bridge Questions. The Pre-Class Tutorials, developed by two pioneers in active-learning methods for economics—Eric Chiang, Florida Atlantic University, and Jose Vazquez, University of Illinois--foster basic understanding of core economic concepts before students attend class. Students watch pre-lecture videos and complete bridge questions that prepare them to engage in class. Instructors receive data about student comprehension that can inform lecture preparation.
This flexible product can be used for the full economics course, micro or macro courses, or survey courses.
