Bring back the Econ Ink stickers! I am almost out and need to order more. How can we make this happen?
I give these stickers as gifts to my AP students at the end of the year, so my stash is running low! I can't find anything I like as much, so please bring them back or release the art so we can print our own!

We don’t have a course specifically designed for that age but I think you could find useful content in both Everyday Economics and Principles. I have a 7 year old and he enjoys them!
Here are some ideas. Drop us a note at support@mruniversity.com if you have a specific topic in mind. If we don’t have it we might be able to suggest some other places.
Trade, Division of Labor, etc

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

Need some female faces!
I am looking through MRU's videos and I am excited to include some in my courses here at St. Catherine University. Perhaps because I teach at a women's college, I am struck by the lack of female economists in the videos. For that matter, there is a lack of diversity on many dimensions. So many good economists out there! Can you tap some who will show my students that their faces are reflected in our field? Thanks!!

When is the international finance exam coming out?
Last feedback that was responded to was in February 2015. There is still no exam? Will there be one?

Out of Order
For those that put the podcasts on mobile devices, the order of each unit is lost. The fix is to put a number in the Description Title.

Thank you
Im not sure if you know how your organization has impacted me. I was not aware of economics until I started your courses and began reading books. I then decided to go to school for economics. I am now in my last class in graduate school finishing an MBA with a concentration in economics. When I textbooks failed to arrive on time, I ordered your books on macro and micro economics. With your textbook, I was able to pass the course with 96%.
Your textbooks are very helpful and easy to read. Your approach to teaching economics is phenomenal. I…

Offer course credits via Edx or Coursera
It will be great if the courses are offered on Edx and Coursera platforms as that might allow more students to learn about your material. Also having an Edx or Coursera will allow you to leverage many things related to verifiation.

It would be helpful for you to link your lecture videos to useful websites with more practice materials to supplement the videos.

Remove the drowning chicks section from the Price Ceiling video
I can't show this to my skeptical friends, because they will be distracted by this appeal to emotion. They will correctly object that drowning millions of chicks may have been more humane than raising them under standard conditions. So if I am talking about price ceilings with a friend and I send them this video, I expect it to backfire.

Please add the total time to complete each course in the course description
Right now, we can't find out how long it would take to finish a certain course. It would be nice if you guys added the total length of the course in the description. That way it would be easier to plan our study along the way and it would give me an idea of how long would it take a student to finish a course.

I need help on how to write a proper college paper/academic paper/thesis
I mean, thesis in the college level, not PhD level. Or how do you call it? I am not a native English speaker.

I need a solid resource on 'the philosophy of science'
Everyone knows this famous raking of so called sciences: https://xkcd.com/435/
Good question, where does economics fit in? And what is science?
How can I participate in so called scientific debate without knowing what science is, in the first place?
I have a feeling that in economics in general you have much story telling and anecdotes, as compared to the amount of 'science' - whatever that word really means.
