Achieve Essentials for OpenStax Economics, Second Edition 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. 

An interactive, accessible e-book that allows students to highlight and take notes. 

Curated  homework problems featuring algorithmically generated variables and our user-friendly graphing tool. These problems are multistep with a variety of answer inputs--each with detailed and targeted feedback specific to that answer. 

Homework assignments—instructors can draw from over 1500 questions aligned to the OpenStax, 2  book, as well as having access to our robust Macmillan Economics Library of over 2500 additional problems in a variety of question types and difficulty levels.  Every homework question includes hints, answer-specific feedback, and fully-worked solutions to help students focus on understanding, not just assessment.
