Assessment Materials in Maths for Economists
A freely usable library of standardised assessments for economics students, with an option to deliver the assessments online and have a summary report emailed to the lecturer. These are designed as "an objective, repeatable measure of what your students know about a particular subject" and so support testing of prerequisites for a course and enable pedagogical research.
"A pre-sessional resource to refresh mathematical skills and techniques in preparation for an undergraduate degree in economics." Has more than eighty videos with captions, plus slides and interactive quizzes to cover seventeen topics from arithmetic and basic algebra to matrices, at each stage showing how these techniques are relevant to economics. Created with funding from the Royal Economic Society.
This is an online multiple choice self-test to assess basic graph comprehension, including identifying positive and negative slope. It has 26 questions.
