Straighterline Macro Help!
#1
I've begun the Straighterline Macro course and I'm not doing too well. My first three graded tests have been 26, 31 and 27 (out of 40). The graphs are killing me, I'm just not getting them. Does anyone know of any "Economic Graphs for Dummies" resources? I really need something that explains them simply. I'm frustrated with this! Thanks for reading!

I would break down and get the book. My son did Straighterline Macro and Micro, Acct I & II. They sometimes reference information that is only contained in the book. 70% is a pass and a C from FHSU. Don't panic, you aren't that for off, and you can make up some ground when you get into the swing of it. It is not easy, but it is doable.

Here is the online resource for the book... go to the online tool that has interactive graphs (I added the link below)...it explains everything in detail.
Limits, Alternatives, and Choices

Interactive graphs here Interactive Graphs

Another point about the online content...the practice quizzes contain (for the most part) a lot of the same questions and answers found on your module exam....so try and review the online quizzes before taking the corresponding Straighterline module exam. You can do this for each chapter, by advancing the chapter drop down menu to the current one you are working on.

Here is a place to get the book used
Half.com / Books / Macroeconomics

Here is a place to rent the book over the summer
Rent Macroeconomics : Principles, Problems, and Policies | 0073273082 | 9780073273082 from Chegg.com

Good luck!
