"An introductory course of economics should be taught as if it was the last class to be delivered"

“[According to O`Sullivan and Sheffrin] an introductory course of economics should be taught as if it was the last class to be delivered to a student.
As this happens with the majority of the students, to deal with it the authors should envisage to teach them how to practice economics, whose best way is to focalize in a few main concepts and ideas and apply them repeatedly in different circumstances.”
