Web-based assignments

Call it an Economic Treasure Hunt! These exciting assignments developed by John Kane of SUNY, Oswego, take full advantage of the World Wide Web by transporting students into more than 100 economic- and noneconomic-oriented sites and asking them to answer questions that relate to the chapter they've just read. Students explore each site and, by reviewing and applying economic concepts they've recently learned, make their own connections and applications of economic theory to the real world. Students, can, for instance, check out the gender pay gap issue in more detail by going to the Department of Labor site and examining graph and table data on the earnings gap. Or they might read American Airlines' Hints on Obtaining Lower Fares and then be asked to think about how the concept of elasticity of demand can explain why these rules exist. With at least three assignments per chapter, these economic treasure hunts are perfect for homework or group/class projects
