An examination of microeconomic models in practical use

Microeconomics explores the strengths and weaknesses of standard models of microeconomics and how they are actually used in policy. Chapters discuss the basics of microeconomics; foundations of supply and demand; market structure and policy; monopolistic competition; distribution of income; and the ways economic reasoning is applied to real-world policy. Sidebars reinforce the economic tools presented, while more then four hours of website-accessible video provide interactive exercises and animated tutorials.

1.0 out of 5 stars Confusing Presentation of Material & Condescending Tone, May 5, 2008
This review is from: Microeconomics (Paperback)
I am very disappointed in this text. Am using it at a jr college for intro micro (also using same author for intro macro). The material is presented in a confusing way, often omitting important details, and I find the author's "conversational" tone to be condescending... especially when making references to "those of you who just don't get math" and similar phrases to the student...
I bought and use Mankiw's texts to quickly and accurately learn the material taught in both of my classes, and only refer to Colander's texts to ensure I'm studying the corresponding Mankiw chapters for upcoming exams. I'm easily achieving 100% on graded Aplia assignments and averaging 95% on all exams so far in both classes, thanks to Mankiw's clear, precise, and accurate texts. Meanwhile, my classmates who are using only Colander's texts are really struggling to learn the material needed to be successful in both classes (micro & macro).
I do not understand the popularity of this author - Mankiw's my author of choice to achieve an easy, excellent grade while actually learning the course material.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful to Understanding Economics, September 20, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I am struggling in my economics class. The professor recommended I purchase and use this study guide when I asked for advice on how I can grasp the material we are covering better.

This study guide really does help me grasp the material and really understand it better.

I would recommend this study guide to any other students that are struggling with the material. It does an overview of the key points in the textbook chapter and then it has lots of questions to answer and then it provides the answers to the questions with an explanation as to why they are the correct answers.

Now if only I could get the professor to actually put some of the material covered in the chapter, the study guide and the chapter questions on the quizzes...my grade would improve. ; ) He's a tricky one. :(
