Microeconomics: Principles and Policy
ISBN: 0-030-35479-X
Macroeconomics: Principles and Policy ISBN: 0-030-35472-2
To improve this edition of the test bank and to help you choose effective test questions, we have added an important feature. Each question is preceded by a code signifying rigor and the method of learning needed to answer the question. For rigor the Letter E indicates easy question, M indicates medium questions, and D difficult questions. Method of learning is indicated with an A for application, I for integration, and R for recall. The application questions test whether students can apply what they've learned about a single concept. Recall questions simply test whether students remember key concepts. Integration questions require that students understand the relationships between two or more concepts and can apply that understanding to real world phenomena. You will find this sytem utilized for all question types including true/false, multiple-choice, and essay questions. In the multiple-choice questions you will find the codes listed next to the correct answer. This feature will assist you in selecting a good mix of questions that tests the material of your choice. We hope you find this system helpful.
