课程概述

We make economics decisions every day: what to buy, whether to work or play, what to study. We respond to markets all the time: prices influence our decisions, markets signal where to put effort, they direct firms to produce certain goods over others. Economics is all around us. This course is an introduction to the microeconomic theory of markets: why we have them, how they work, what they accomplish. We will start with the concept of scarcity and how specialization according to comparative advantage helps us achieve more than we could alone. Next we model a marked using the tools of Supply and Demand and learn what well working markets accomplish and what their limit are. We end by exploring the impact of government intervention on perfect markets. Examples are taken from everyday life, from goods and services that we all purchase and use. We will apply the theory to current events and policy debates through weekly exercises. These will empower you to be an educated, critical thinker who can understand, analyze and evaluate market outcomes....

Nice, short and interesting videos. The assignments are not too difficult or too easy. You can see, that Mrs Stein put a lot of effort into the videos and explanations.

I really enjoyed the clarity with which the concepts were taught. I loved the examples and I thought they were very helpful and made the concepts so much easier to understand.

Very well taught with enjoyable examples. Instructor's pacing and and presentations make each discreet step/lesson easy to master as part of the overall chain. The only thing I would add would be more numerical examples to work through to increase repetitions to cement learning.

I found this course very helpful. The instructor had a great way of explaining things and the pace and amount of time of the videos was appropriate. One criticism, I found that the quiz questions did not always seem to follow the information that was just presented.

More detailed explanation of quiz answers, perhaps given after the 3 attempts have been used or after the deadline has passed, would be extremely helpful in allowing students to fully understand their mistakes and improve learning.

The overall content of this course is good and seems to be solid, however, there are some caviler attitudes expressed towards poverty and taxes, specifically the assertion that taxes are theft and the government "steals" taxes.

Courses are organized very well, and Profs are great. But some figures and graphs were not able to be shown, I believe there were some bugs, so hopefully you will check and fix it. Thanks for your lecture anyway.

The course material is easy to understand, and the professor has illustrated each concepts clearly. I was expecting more complex theory and concepts, since stuff taught in this class is really elementary.

Es un muy buen curso. Cubre la mayoría de conceptos básicos de la microeconomía y se los entiendo banstante bien. Sin embargo, podría ser un poco más dinámico. Lo disfruté y lo recomiendo.

The content was comprehensive and I suggest it as a good introductory stamdpoint to the microeconomic situation. Perhaps it could've been more engaging by referencing real-world incidents.

Excellently organised course. Amazing for building concepts. An area for improvement is explanations for quizzes. More elaborate explanations would improve learning outcomes even further.

Really good, clear content, no surprises in the exam questions - but no free lunch either. A good balance that makes learning relatively easy but critical thinking necessary.

This is great course for newbies to microeconomics. If you want to excel at this course, you should buy or rent the suggested book to fully grasp the concepts.

Great course for beginners in economics, though I think it'd be more helpful to explain concepts and their implications in more depth and detail.
