It is difficult. Even sometimes it may be suggested to take 15 minutes to finish but for me, it will take me up to 45 minutes instead. re-watch and think and do calculations.

I attended this course to refresh and update my knowledge of macroeconomics, and I found it to be exceptionally informative and easy to understand. Dr. James DeNicco, the instructor, delivered the material in an engaging and enjoyable manner, making complex concepts accessible and interesting. His teaching style made the course not only educational but also fun.

I started this course with the goal of dipping my toes into economic theory to become more familiar with the terminology in the manuscripts I edit. (I’m a freelance English editor.) I ended up completing all three courses and obtaining my certification because the lectures were so engaging and fun. I particularly enjoyed the never-boring presentation, the visuals, and the way the assignments were designed. The fact that there was no pressure to achieve a high grade removed the temptation to ask for help. After completing this course I feel I can better understand the forces that shape our world, from micro to macroeconomics. The only downside is that I’m now seeing supply and demand curves everywhere, even in the contrails in the sky. What I’ve learned in these three courses now forms the backdrop of the economics stories I edit for my clients, making my job more enjoyable and the result more precise. The best part is that 20+ years after graduating from university, I’ve rediscovered the joy of learning. I never stopped learning, but this has been the first online course I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. I cannot recommend this course or the instructor more warmly!
