Video Game for College Credit - MaieJaie - 11-01-2008
I just came across this and wanted to share. The University of North Carolina at Greensboro has devised a unique way to make Microeconomics more appealing to students. Microeconomics generally has a bad reputation among college students as being boring. Having taken a course on the subject, I'll have to agree.
Anyway, UNCG has created an online course for Microeconomics in the form of a video game. It looks pretty impressive, too; after finding the game, I almost wished I hadn't already taken Micro.
The game can be found here:
UNCG Presents: ECON 201 An Online Course For College Credit
Oh, and the tuition is very reasonable for a college course. (Not as good as the CLEP exam, of course, but not bad.)

I still need Micro. Think I'll ask TESC if they would accept this. Thanks. Should have posted this in the general forum though. I hardly ever come in here.

This is what I got back from TESC,
Hello Robert,
Yes the ECON-201 Prin. of Microeconomics will work for ECO-112 Microeconomics.
If you have any other questions please let us know.
Good luck and best regards,
