Microeconomics: The Power of Markets was an enlightening and thought-provoking journey into the fundamental principles that govern individual economic decisions and market dynamics. I enrolled in this course with a basic understanding of economics, but I can confidently say that it expanded my knowledge in ways I didn't anticipate.

Course Content (5/5): The course content was exceptionally well-structured, covering a wide range of microeconomic concepts. It started with the basics, gradually delving into more complex topics. The use of real-world examples and case studies made abstract economic theories come to life, making it easier to grasp the concepts. The inclusion of current events and their economic implications was a particularly engaging aspect of the course.

Instructor (5/5): The instructor, [Instructor's Name], was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the course. Their passion for microeconomics was evident in every lecture. They had a talent for explaining intricate concepts in a clear and relatable manner. Additionally, they were always available for questions and fostered a positive and interactive online learning environment.

Assignments and Assessments (4/5): The assignments and assessments were challenging yet fair. They encouraged critical thinking and application of the concepts learned in class. However, I would have appreciated a bit more variety in the types of assignments, such as group projects or discussions, to enhance the learning experience.

Resources (4/5): The course materials, including the textbook and supplementary readings, were well-selected and comprehensive. The online platform used for the course was user-friendly and organized. However, additional resources such as video tutorials or interactive simulations could have been beneficial to reinforce certain concepts.

Practical Application (5/5): One of the strongest aspects of this course was its emphasis on real-world applications. Understanding how microeconomics influences everyday decision-making, from individual choices to government policies, was eye-opening. It made me more aware of the economic forces at play in the world around me.

Overall Experience (4.5/5): Microeconomics: The Power of Markets was an intellectually stimulating course that left a lasting impression on me. It provided a solid foundation in microeconomic principles and their practical significance. While the course was excellent overall, a bit more variety in assignment types and additional supplementary resources would have made it even better.

In conclusion, I highly recommend Microeconomics: The Power of Markets to anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of economics and its impact on our lives. It's a rewarding course that equips students with valuable knowledge and analytical skills, and it's taught by an outstanding instructor who truly cares about their students' learning experience.

The professor clearly loves teaching the subject which always leads to better teaching. The way she broke down the content of the course in smaller chunks with more frequent and shorter quizes gives the course more of a microlearning feel, rather than having fewer, but longer quizes covering larger chunks of content. I felt that I really learned the material during the course because it is in fact geared to someone that has never taken an Economy class. In the end, there is a longer final exam that covers all the course content but I felt prepared for it which felt really great. In the end, I think the professor really took her time to think of the gradual content storyline in each lesson and also explains the content in a very friendly manner... this is what makes this course so spot on. I don't think many other professors take the time and care to make such great content.

Economics is all around us. We make economics decisions every day: what to buy, whether to work or play, what to study. We respond to markets all the time: prices influence our decisions, markets signal where to put effort, they direct firms to produce certain goods over others. This course is an introduction to the microeconomic theory of markets: why we have them, how they work, what they accomplish.This is an excellent intro to microeconomics under the standard model, taught by an excellent prof. Rebecca Stein. Her lecturing style is such that I hung onto every word she says. She distils the essence of this very fundamental concept and presents it with simplicity and clarity in a unique manner that somehow sticks in my head.

It's an excellent course. It started with the concept of scarcity, then introduced the idea of opportunity cost and the core idea of economics that every action has an opportunity cost, and you don't get anything for free. I also like the definition of economics she gave: Economics is the study of the allocation of scarce resources to satisfy unlimited wants. It explains everything clearly and might be much easier to grasp the main idea of microeconomics than read a textbook alone. Use some great examples and nice graphs to help you understand the material, and the questions are also relevant and worthwhile to solve, not too easy or too hard for beginners. Thank you, Ph.D. Rebecca Stein.

Dr. Stein is a terrific lecturer who has significantly increased my interest in economics - high as it already was. I'll be signing up for the "Market failures" course... as soon as my head stops aching from the highly beneficial, if somewhat painful reshaping of my outlook on the world that this bit of education resulted in. Also, much thanks to Rick Nimo - the mentor for the course - for his invaluable assistance.

Ouch. And kudos to both on a job brilliantly done, from another professional educator. :)

I learned a lot about fundamentals of microeconomics from this course. I will view the finance news with a fresh and deeper perspective from now on. I find the instructor Rebecca very effective in introducing abstract concepts through examples, walking through examples slowly and carefully, and making remarks and conclusions along the way. Some of her comments on the real-world economy is also really thought-provoking. I look forward to the next course to learn about when and how market fails.

It was a very good introduction to microeconomics, and the professor was great. She explained all the concepts with ease. I would urge everyone who wants to get started with economics to try this course. This course is very interesting as well as very informative. The arrangement of the topics for this course is very educational. I like studying microeconomics. Moreover, the course instructor, Prof. Rebecca Stein, made this course more interesting and attractive.

I learnt Microeconomics the power of market. I got immense amount of knowledge from this course from fundamental to intermediate level. I would like to say special thanks to professor of this course , she is very intelligent and explain each and every topic from its base. I would recommend everybody to take this course who want to learn to economics from beginning level.

Great introductory course. I think the professor assumes we're all good at mathematics and there were moments she did not explain the steps in some calculations. Regardless, the concepts were very well explained. I'm taking this course as a preparation for public policy program, and it is really really useful!

Estupendo curso y excelente la profesora Stein. Lo he realizado subtitulado/traducido al español sin ningún problema. Recomiendo eso si consultar el libro recomendado de cara a ampliar conceptos. Sin duda realizaré el siguiente. Muchas gracias Coursera, University of Pennsylvania y Profesora Stein.

Wharton goes on to prove why it is one of the best B-schools in the world. The course content is presented in a beautiful and crisp manner. Focus on concepts and teaching them both qualitatively and quantitatively are the highlights of this course. A must-do to get started in Microeconomics.

Course is conducted in an easy to understand method. Lecturer was able to explain very clearly the concepts and provides very good example. This is a course that I would strongly recommend to people who would like to understand the concept of supply and demand. Excellent course!

I enjoyed learning the "Microeconomics: The Power of Markets". The Video tutorials were great. Explanations given by the professor were easily understandable and further numerical examples practice followed by quiz enhanced the learning. Thanks.

I love the way videos are made in bitesize. To beginners, this course is well suited as the questions are not too complicated. This course has boosted my confidence to learn Economics. Thanks a lot to the teams for developing this course.

This is an amazing course for Microeconomics. The primary reason is that everything is well explained and so it's not as difficult to grasp the concepts. I would recommend everyone to give this course a shot, you'll learn some neat stuff!

It has been a very interesting journey of learning, content is on point and very interesting. If your intention is just to run through the course and get a certificate them am sorry, you need to find time and study. I enjoyed the course.

I had a great time learning this course, it was very enriching and also useful to know how our economy works i hope to use this information in the future to make better decisions in my personal finance and business endeavours!!

Excellent explanation of basic economic concepts. Looking forward to more courses by Ms Rebecca. Thank you so much for your great work. Loved the videos & quizzes. They have certainly enriched my knowledge of economics further.

Just took HBS CORe and this course definitely does an equally strong job! Minus the thousands of dollars in tuition money! Wonderful way to supplement that knowledge with a deeper understanding of Microeconomics.

Meu favorito até agora.

A professora parece muito simpática e tem domínio do assunto.

Gosto da forma como ela explica os conceitos e da forma como os testes são aplicados.

Estou ansioso para concluir este curso.

I really enjoyed this course! It was very informative and really helped me understand how markets work. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning more about this topic.

It’s been my 4th and favorite course on coursera one so far! Very short interesting videos with great explanation and great visual demonstration by having a transperent board in front of the teacher!

I found it really useful to get to know with the basic concepts and vocabulary in Economics. It also confirmed my interest in the subject and I am looking forward to studying following courses.

Excellent course on the principles of markets and the effects of taxes and subsidies. Really enjoyed it and learned a lot. You definitely start to see the world around you in a different way.

Great course !! The lecturer is able to convey terminologies clearly in a short time . Its clear my understanding on Economics, Microeconomics, Economic Analysis, Market (Economics).
