Microeconomics Plus MyEconLab Student Access Kit

Summary: Good Graphs, but a bit thin on explanation.
Review: I use this textbook in my Managerial Economics course. Personally, I think the graphs are very well done, but the material covered is somewhat more challenging than a typical intermediate-level textbook and requires an understanding of calculus. The verbal explanations could be better. Waldman makes somewhat ambitious efforts to cover advanced topics such in utility theory, the number of firms in monopolistic competition, and bundling.

Summary: Stay away from this book
Review: To any instructor considering this book, don't use it. Currently, we are using this book in our Microtheory class. 99% of the class hates the book and 75% of the class is barely passing. 1.) The book is extremely dry, hard to understand, and requires reviewing the concepts at least 5+ times a week. 2.) The author doesn't provide a thorough explanation for each concept. 3.) The author uses calculus and algebra for majority of the concepts.
