P> Review The text does an excellent job meeting my course needs! I used another introductory microeconomics book at a different university and the Krugman text is MUCH better - the examples are clear and easy for students to relate to, and the topical events in the chapter introductions provide context for the economics that follows. Meredith Crane, Cincinnati State Technical & Community CollegeExtremely well written. I think a policy focused approach is what initially drew me to the text. I have continued to use the text as the homework management system saw increased value to the students. Michael Polcen, Northern Virginia Community CollegeI think the coverage [of Economic Principles in Chapter 1] is better than my current text because it gives a very broad picture of what economics is about. The Principles are really what we are about to embark on in the remaining chapters, which I like. In lecture I would be able to give them examples of when we will see this again which I like to do because it piques their interest in the remainder of the course. Julie Gonzalez, University of California - Santa CruzI am happy with the online homework system. The text has very nice lecture presentations for the chapters and a very strong test bank with lots of good questions. It is important to me that the test bank questions include tables and images as well as problems that require the students to complete calculations using formulas from the textbook chapters.
