This course covers the most important foundation concepts in microeconomics necessary for application in more advanced models. Principles and theories discussed in this course can also be applied in real life decision making. All the important theories, models, graphs and laws are discussed using high-quality sound and animation. No live recordings of lectures or boring screen-shots of textbook pages!
Mastering Foundations in Microeconomics is a great resource for exam, lecture or test preparation. Students can go through all the material chapter by chapter, or simply complete selected chapters in which they feel they need additional support.
Examples from everyday life are provided at the end of each chapter as well as multiple choice quizzes to further enhance each student’s learning experience, regardless of capability.
