Better spam control and author authentication needed
Comments and discussions under the videos could be very useful only if they are kept free from spam. Spammers often post links and ads. One way could be to designate some long time or serious users as moderators.
PS: In case you start such a program, I would love to help with moderation of content
3 votesThank you for the feedback. We are continually battling spammers on both this feedback site and on mruniversity.com. We haven’t gone the way of community-based moderation yet, but if we do so, we’ll let you know! Thanks for the offer.

Please make sure that the information in the practice questions is correct
Please make sure that the information in the practice questions is correct. I just tried to answer one of the practice questions on GDP and it marked my correct answer wrong. I double checked my answer in the book and I was correct and the website was wrong. This problem could cause people to learn false information. :/
3 votesThank you for submitting your concern about the GDP practice question. We take making sure that all of our questions are correct very seriously. We have reviewed all the questions on GDP and can verify that they are all correct. If you can let me know which is the question you think is wrong, we can try address it specifically.
There is one question, the second question in the “Splitting GDP” video, that is a bit of trick question. Maybe this is the one you are referring to. It may seem that the answer should be (e), but it is actually (d). The reason is that not all of government spending is counted in GDP; only government purchases are. For example, social security payouts are government expenses but not purchases, and these are not counted toward GDP. The video explains why this is so: GDP count goods…

Compress Apple Podcast Videos
Hi Guys,
You´re doing such a great Job, congratulations! I watched all videos from Microeconomics course and Daily Economics.
I had a hard time downloading the videos from Apples Podcast and play them on my iPad, because they are really big. A 3 minute video can be 700 MB size, which is huge, consuming lot of storage on the device, and making it imposible to streaming if you don't have a really fast internet connection.
It would be great if you can compress them.
2 votesThanks for the suggestion. We do compress them but we’ll see what we can do to compress them further.

Using MRU with flipped classroom; date for Macro?
Your videos are great and I use them in my classroom and post them on my course website as a kind of hybrid flipped classroom.
When will you have videos up for principles of macro? Thanks!
2 votesThanks for sharing! We’ll be in contact with you as we’re very interested in how our videos are working in a flipped model. You can send feedback directly to me at roman at mruniversity dot com as well.
As for Macro, it’s on deck for this year. I’ll add you to the professor list for course announcements so that you get notified.

Release New Material on a Schedule
You asked for feedback about the Principles of Economics: Microeconomics class.
I know it's too late in the class for this to change, but in future classes it would be nice if there was some predetermined schedule for the release of new material. Long periods of time went by in the class with no new material and no idea when it would be released.
A release schedule when the class starts would be very helpful.
Thanks for the great material. So many of these topics and the way they apply to real-life situations are more complex than they appear on…
2 votesThank you for the feedback and compliments!
We are going to release our Macro on a 1 video per week schedule starting in January 2016.

Can you learn about effectiveness of price stabalization measure by the government to stabalize prices of agri commodities?
Can you learn about effectiveness of price stabalization measure by the government to stabalize prices of agri commodities? In india onion prices have huge implication for rural economy and politics.

What does the economic theory and international experience say about such measures? I am based in India . milind.murugkar@gmail.com Can MRU help us in understanding the issue better ? Milind Murugkar
