What do teachers say about this resource? (6235, 6236)
This is a good resource for "testing" student knowledge and understanding. It offers the same activity across the entire theme 1 specification of Economics A. It is a challenging activity.
I think students would enjoy the challenge of this end of topic review. Adding diagrams was good.
This would force students, via this low stakes but high challenge quiz, to know and remember more. I think the author does achieve the stated objective of breaking up the monotony of note-taking and essay writing – but still focus students on core economics!
