The Introduction to Microeconomics textbook contains fifteen modules—roughly one module per week for a fifteen-week semester. Many choose not to teach every module, so sometimes fewer modules are covered during a semester. Although all the modules are similar in size and depth (aside from the first, introductory module which is more brief), some of the modules work well together and could easily be combined. Some modules may also be drawn out to cover more than one week. Some modules that work well together include:

• Module 1: Economic Thinking and Module 2: Choice in a World of Scarcity
• Module 12: Labor Markets and Module 13: Income Distribution
• Module 14: Globalization and Trade and Module 15: Exchange Rates and International Finance

These modules are sometimes excluded, depending on faculty preferences or if the concepts are taught in macroeconomics instead:

• Module 14: Globalization and Trade
• Module 15: Exchange Rates and International Finance
