Candidates can instruct introductory or intermediate-level courses in Economics, Business Economics, and/or Finance as junior instructors in these fields. Here are some pointers for planning and teaching lessons that are effective:
Recognize who the audience are: It’s critical to comprehend students backgrounds and experiences in order to customize teachings.

Begin with the fundamentals: Start with the basics of the topic, such as its defining terms, theories, and concepts. The students will have a strong foundation to build upon going forward as a result.
