Self-Paced Economics Instruction: A Large-Scale Disaggregated Evaluation

Soper, John C.; Thorton, Richard M.

Journal of Economic Education, 7, 2, 81-91, Spr 76

This paper reports on an evaluation of the Sterling Institute self-paced macroeconomics course at Northern Illinois University. Results show that a completely self-paced teaching format for macroeconomics is inferior to a well-directed, concept-oriented, graduate-student instructed, lecture-discussion taught course.
