Overview

Students learn best when they see a concept applied in the context of examples they understand. That is why Economics Today: The Micro View is so successful in classrooms where students hail from a wide variety of majors, backgrounds, and ages. An abundance of relentlessly current, news-worthy examples motivate every chapter and reflect the interests of today’s diverse student population. In this new edition, Miller has responded to the way students use their textbook as a study tool by incorporating new pedagogy to help students study effectively and by giving them more opportunities to practice. MyEconLab now includes a subset of Miller’s end-of-chapter problems so that assignments can be automatically graded online. MyEconLab in CourseCompass™ provides additional optional customization and communication tools. Instructors who teach distance-learning courses or very large lecture sections find the CourseCompass™ format useful because they can upload course documents and assignments, customize the order of chapters, and use communication features such as Digital Dropbox and Discussion Board.
