Below are the same materials I use to teach my Introductoy Economics course (Micro and Macro combined). I teach this class as an active, student centered course. Class time begins with a quiz on pre-reading material, followed by a mixture of explaining concepts and group problems. I walk around and give students individual feedback before discussing the problem as a class and then moving on to the next topic or problem.
