Medhekar authors website for new book 

CQU's Anita Medhekar has developed the companion website (web-based supplementary materials) for a leading textbook in economics by Pearson Education called 'Principles of Economics' by Professor John Sloman and Professor Keith Norris.

PhotoID:1702 Ms Medhekar has developed the website for the Macro Economics section of the textbook, which involved producing web-based supplementary interactive materials. Materials on the website include website references, self-testing quizzes and multiple-choice questions, with hints and answers. These tools provide instant feedback and scoring to students to let them know how well they have understood the concepts of each topic.

Users of the website can develop case studies with questions for self-study, by relating economic theory to real life economics around us, and by linking to the relevant section of the theory in the textbook chapters.

Welcome to the Companion Website for Principles of Economics.
