All Test Bank I and II questions are organized by Learning Objective, topic, AACSB Assurance of Learning, and Bloom’s Taxonomy Guidelines.  Test Bank III, written by William Walstad, contains more than 600 pages of short-answer questions and problems created in the style of the book’s end-of-chapter questions. Test Bank III can be used to construct student assignments or design essay and problem exams. Suggested answers to the essay and problem questions are included.  In all, more than 12,500 questions give instructors maximum testing flexibility while ensuring the fullest possible text correlation.  Test Banks I and II are available through Connect Economics, EZ Test Online, and MS Word.  Test Bank III is available in MS Word on the Instructor Center of the OLC.

With the assistance of Laura Maghoney, the PowerPoint Presentations for the nineteenth edition were updated by a dedicated team of instructors: Jill Beccaris-Pescatore of Montgomery County Community College, Stephanie Campbell of Mineral Area College, Amy Chataginer of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, and Dorothy Siden of Salem State College. Each chapter, including the Web Chapters, is accompanied by a concise yet thorough tour of the key concepts. Instructors can use the slides in the classroom while students can use the slides to study.
