A Bluestocking Guide to Economics

Product Description

A Bluestocking Guide: Economics contains additional articles, written at varying reading levels, that expand on the concepts presented in the primer as well as an economic timetable that can be used to fill in the economic history that is usually missing from history books, historical fiction, historical movies, documentaries, etc.

Also includes suggested activities, articles that expand on the concepts presented in Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?, and a list of recommended movies and documentaries that contain good economic history, and a list of websites with good economic content.

Bluestocking Guides are designed to reinforce and enhance a student’s understanding and retention of the subject matter presented in the guide’s corresponding primer.

Each Bluestocking Guide includes comprehension questions relating to specific chapters within the primer. These include: Definition, True/False, and Short Answer/Fill-in questions (answers are located in the back of the study guide — Note: student answers to some questions/exercises do not always have definitive answers, in which case the notation “answers will vary” will appear).

Application Exercises are also given for certain chapters. Generally, these ask the student to apply the knowledge he/she learned from a given chapter of the primer to “real world” situations. This way the student may personalize the information to better retain and apply the knowledge gained from the primer.  Application Exercises may include: Essay assignments, Research projects, and thought questions to facilitate student-instructor discussion. Bluestocking Guides may also include suggestions for further study (books, movies, etc.).

A comprehensive final exam is included.

Course Uses: Can be used for courses in Economics, Business, Finance, Government and Ancient Rome (when used along with guide’s corresponding primer).
