6. Top tips

Encourage the students to write essays in which they have to argue for a position.
Stress the role of history in economics and economic thought.
Comparison is difficult so students must be guided through the process: explain the teaching strategy you are using.
Structure the module/course so that competing perspectives are reinforced: start early and repeat often.
Use/construct readers as a substitute for or complement to textbooks.
Use autobiographical accounts to show how economists change their mind and why.
Offer extensive feedback on assignments – perhaps create space for this by refusing to give advanced guidance.
