Give a brief written explanation for each question after submitting a quiz as to why the right answer is the right answer.
This would greatly help me understand the material better.

Downloading should be easier
Currently I can download all the videos of a course using iTunes or using the link below the video.
But:
iTunes is a mess. Classes appear out of order or do not appear at all. Some courses are not there.
Downloading one audio/video file at a time is tiring. There should be an option to download all files from a course with just one click. You could even use BitTorrent.

PPT
Is there any PPT files made from your's videos (in fact, that are use in videos)? If not, maybe it's not a bad idea to make it. The PPT files shoud be editable, of course, for better use in any language.

In your introductory lecture to Great Economists, you say that you will offer a course on Marxian economics. Is that still your plan?
I believe that a course on Marxian economics would be a natural addition to the Great Economists course. It would allow us to understand how the Theory of Value evolved from Smith and Ricardo to Marx.
It would also be interesting to see how Marxism and the Marginal Utility theorists view the world differently.
And finally, we could look at later theorists like Joseph Schumpeter and David Harvey.

In Development Economics (and possibly elsewhere), add David Ellerman
David Ellerman has been a major thinker for over 40 years on democratic firms and development economics, as well and philosophical foundations (e.g. inalienable rights and property theory).

This is without a doubt the best thing on the Internet. The lessons are very clear, comprehensive and a real lifesaver.
These lessons are the best thing since sliced bread. Easy to understand, great reinforcement of the concept taught. I am confident I will have far fewer problems in my MBA classes because of your unselfish presentation and offering to

Add a course on public choice economics
Please add a course on public choice economics. There's an excellent list of MRU courses for learning to think like an economist. But strongly believe another function of these courses could/should be to make us better, more knowledgeable citizens regarding public policy issues. And that means we need a course in public choice economics — "politics without the romance" — i.e., what economic analysis can tell us about the political decision-making process. That way we'll be better able to determine whether free-market or government-driven solutions would likely work better for addressing particular issues. And we'll each have a better "BS…

Masters in Economics from MR Univ.
Hi MR Team,
Thanks for developing this awesome website the contents are really cool. I believe, MR can leverage on this content and develop a master program around it. A nominal certifying fees can also be charged from interested candidates to want to get a formal diploma from MRU. I am sure a lot of candidates would love to pursue their masters in economics (online) and get their diplomas from MR.Thanks,

Results of Practice Questions
As an instructor, I would like for my students to be able to email me the results of their practice questions via your site. Perhaps a button they can click on to enter my email address. OR, a setting on their profile.

Indicate lenght of the chapters/videos
I have started the Development Economics course. The same way it is very useful to know that it is a 25.5 video hours course, it would be very useful and simple to implement knowing how long are every chapter or even every video. It would allow users to better plan their study plan.
Congrats for the site!

50% vs 100%
In the video "Elasticity of demand", it is said that toothpicks' price going up from 50 cents to one dollar, it is a large price increase of 50%. I would think it is rather 100%, is it not?

MRUniversity should create an app.
MRUniversity should create an app similar to Udemy so people can easily do economics on their phones and tablets. I would strongly prefer if there was an MRUnisveristy app that just linked the videos so I can watch it on my phone without the need of an internet browser.

Awesome Site!!!
Without a doubt THE best way to learn about economics! All of the videos are very interesting, easy to understand and very slick with high production values.
Most importantly, it gives the student of economics a very solid intuitive grasp of the subject.
Many thanks for making this open and freely available to the public.

Environmental economics module
Dear Professors,
I am a faculty of economics in India and I use your reading material frequently to explain economics to beginners are the MBA level. I am pursuing a PhD in environmental economics, specifically in valuation of non marketed good. Is there a module that you will be introducing soon?
