Abstract

PC ECONOMICS has seven units devoted to microeconomics and three to macroeconomics. Each unit has from one to six tutorial lessons followed by a quiz. Many of the lessons involve graphing tables, and a major goal of this software seems to be to give students practice translating tables into graphs and vice versa. PC ECONOMICS is not tied to any specific economics textbook.
