Description: Students interested in taking university-level courses can find many options in MIT’s OpenCourseWare course materials.

This free online course in microeconomics allows students to study at their own pace, using actual course materials and teaching aids used in MIT classrooms.

This is an introductory course on the principles of microeconomics (which covers economics from the perspective of individual consumers, specific industries, or even firms rather than the larger working of the economy as a whole).

This course includes a syllabus, readings, assignments, lecture notes, and even class exams (including separate solutions to check answers). Materials can be accessed online or downloaded (in .pdf format).
