Teaching with the Dictionary
Making the most of your subscription
The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics is a powerful and valuable classroom resource. It provides succinct surveys and overviews of complex terms and issues that support textbooks and lectures.
In the following are some suggestions for maximizing your subscription to the online Dictionary and helping your students navigate the large amount of information that it contains.
Tip 1: Reading lists
Include references to the Dictionary entries for key terms and themes covered in each of your lectures.
If you make your reading list available online, you can hyperlink the entry directly to the Dictionary.
A live example of this can be found at: http://www.efm.bris.ac.uk/ecjrwt/gtscread2010.htm or below.
Tip 2: Customize lecture notes
Use the Dictionary entries, tables and figures to enhance your lecture notes. At the bottom of each entry, you will find the appropriate citation to lead your students back to the Dictionary as a resource for further information.
Tip 3: The three 'Rs': further reading, research and revision
Each entry includes a detailed bibliography and a list of related articles. Students can use these links to drill down within a topic to further their own research. The abstracts to entries can also offer handy revision summaries.
