Zachary Machunda

I have considerable experience in using MindTap and Aplia to teach Principles of Economics courses. I began using Aplia in 2002 and MindTap in 2005, in order to raise student engagement and success in learning introductory economics, at Minnesota State University Moorhead, Minnesota, where I taught Principles of Economics for 16 years. When I joined the Department of Agribusiness and Applied Economics at North Dakota State University, in fall 2015, I was undeterred in delivering the benefits to my students of the integration of Blackboard and MindTap. In spring 2016, I embarked on Blackboard integration with MindTap for my face-to-face course in Principles of Microeconomics. I began fall semester of 2017 with Blackboard and MindTap Integration for all of my three introductory economics courses.

I am a Lecturer in Principles of Economics in the Department of Agribusiness and Applied Economics at North Dakota State University, Fargo, North Dakota. I hold a Ph.D. degree in Economic Geography and Public Policy and an M.A. degree in Economics, both from Indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana. I have reviewed four book manuscripts in introductory economics.

"MindTap, graded assignments and the Problem-Walk-through Videos have helped me to motivate my students to learn economics outside the classroom and to raise their grades. The CNOW digital tool in MindTap with Blackboard integration has simplified my preparation and scheduling of online examinations for my distance-education students!"
