This course is written for the student who has little or no background in economics; and is geared toward the college undergraduate. All learning objectives are specified so that the student knows what is expected of him. Questions and answers are supplied in the text. Emphasis is on basic concepts, with opportunities for the student to interpret graphs, evaluate current events related to economics, and apply his knowledge to practical situations. The course is in four modules, each bound in paper in separate volumes. The modules are: student guide and introduction, microeconomics, macroeconomics, and money and banking. The instructor's guide which accompanies the student texts explains the systems approach to learning, suggests various ways to handle the course in individual classrooms, and lists specific resources which may be used in conjunction with those suggested in the text.
