PowerPoint® Slides
The PowerPoint slides are a set of lectures based on the textbook content, parallelling the section-by-section summary found in the end-of-chapter material. We (the authors!) developed the content in the slides to enable you to prepare and present a focused, manageable lecture without having to wade through an excessive number of slides. Each analytical graph has animations that allow you to visually tell stories of curves shifting and new equilibrium outcomes.
The parallels between the slides and the end-of-chapter summary make it easier for students to connect the textbook material, your classroom presentation, and the end-of-chapter exercises. The design of the slides matches the textbook design so students connect more easily the material they have read and the content of your classroom presentation. The font sizes of the slides have been tested for readability from the back of a 500-seat lecture hall as well as on mobile devices.
Example: Micro Chapter 5 Elasticity
Animated Figures (Videos)
The PowerPoint graphs, built from the textbook graphic files, are the basis of the Animated Figures. For key analytical graphs in the textbook, a short MP4 video plays when students click on the graph. In a voice-over, Professor Gordana Colby, an award-winning teacher at York University, talks the student through the meaning of the figure, and trace shifts of curves and changes in outcomes. A moving cursor directs students’ attention to the portion of the figure being discussed in the narration.
