Achieve Essentials for Economics includes:
An assessment engine based on Sapling Learning with Pre-Class Tutorials and Bridge Questions. Pre-Class Tutorials, developed by two pioneers in active-learning methods—Eric Chiang, Florida Atlantic University, and Jose Vazquez, University of Illinois—foster basic understanding of core economic concepts before students attend class. Students watch pre-lecture videos and complete bridge questions that prepare them to engage in class. Instructors receive data about student comprehension that can inform lecture preparation. 

Curated homework problems featuring algorithmically generated variables and our user-friendly graphing tool:

• Pre-built assignments are broken down by topics in both microeconomics and macroeconomics.  Instructors have flexibility to select topics they want to cover.
• Homework problems are multistep with a variety of answer inputs--each with detailed and targeted feedback specific to that answer.
• Homework assignments include over 4200 questions in a variety of types and difficulty levels.
• Every homework question provides students with hints, answer-specific feedback, and fully worked solutions to help students focus on understanding, not just assessment.

Pre-built assignments for Greg Mankiw’s Principles of Economics, Ninth Edition—book-specific homework for instructors using the current edition of Mankiw’s bestselling text.

A Migrator Tool— instructors who have used Sapling Learning previously can use this tool to move assignments into the  Achieve platform.
