In this program, I really learned how to appreciate the tutors when it was crunch to help me revise my work as well as to make sure I understand what I need to know for the course. It has taught me to make use of every resource I have to my advantage. The tutors here in EOF will not be around as often in the fall semester. So how I plan on keeping up the habit of using my resources is to meet with my teacher for office hours to receive extra help.

I began to set aside time to only focus on my

As you might have guessed the book informs people about economics but is set up in a way that is suitable even for a common man. As the author mentioned in the book her main goal of the book is to inform people who think they know about economics but are actually misinformed. The authors have added an interesting and fun tone throughout the book to keep the reader entertained.
