LOL. I'm studying for my final exam on Tuesday and you are making it a breeze! Thank you so much for being very detailed and thorough, yet simplifying the concepts for me so that I'll be able to cram two days before. You rock! Keep up with the great work.
You are out there proving that it's not always the student who is the idiot, sometimes it's the professor that can't teach it properly. Thank you so much for your explanations 👍🏻
This is my first experience in an ECON class and this video was way more helpful than the first 2 chapters of my book. Thank you for the great content and helping me better understand my learning material.
I’m not even an Econ student and decided to learn economics for personal knowledge and your videos are amazing! I watched the entire Crash Course series on Economics so knew I had to check out your channel!
Wow, you have that "it" for this subject area. I've been struggling/frustrated for two days and you motivated me! Thanks for going the extra mile and sharing your gifts. Prayers
as a first year commerce student, i thank you endlessly. im 3 weeks behind on my course all bc i didnt understand this one graph (didnt help that my teacher didnt necessarily explain it much) and now i can understand it better. i owe u my life.
WHAT? are you telling me I didn't need to listen two hours to my teacher in class but I could have just watched this instead and save a lot of time???? I completely understood everything??? ENGLISH IS NOT EVEN MY FIRST LANGUAGE AND I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING??? I absolutely loved your way of teaching!
Mr. Clifford you are awesome taking an online class is difficult. When I watch your videos I get a better understanding then trying to read the book on my own.
my prof's dog water vid werent loading so i search the lesson up and found this channel, so happy I found this explained so much info I that i was able to retain and not loose due to the fact you keep things interesting! so glad I found this channel!!!!
I have a test today at 9am. I was awake till 4am studying this from my textbook and I slept for a while and woke up at 6. I am so thankful to God that I saw this video, reading this from my textbook is so hard. Thanks for making these videos.
My teeacher has been trying to make me understand this for WEEKS and you just did it in 5 minutes thank you cacti dude that i found randomly while trying to find help online:)
Thank you for your videos! I'm a visual learner who made the mistake of taking an online Macroeconomics class. Your energy level, sense of humor, and clear descriptions are so helpful to me. I've subscribed and will continue to watch your channel as I go through my class. Thank you thank you thank you!
Im taking economics, read the book, attended the classes and still couldn't understand it fully. After watching this video, I got a MUCH clearer idea. You are very much appreciated rn, thank you. LOL
@@Agent-CephI was sick and she didn’t tell me anything. She also expected me to be done with the assignment the day after I got back despite being gone for a week and having no instruction whatsoever
English is not my native language but I understand the concept that you explained in your video better than in my french class ! You're doing so well ! Thank you !
omg I generally don't write comment on videos but this one literally saved me from suffering thank you soo much!idk why books or instructors cannot tell it that way, it seems so easy when I watched it but before that I was about to cry. thanks again!!
tomorrow is my exam and my class teacher is big no no when it comes to doing her job. but you're so freakin lively and explained the samething my teacher failed to explain in 50+ slides...
man my tuition teacher couldn't explain this to me for 3 days straight.And sir you did it in 5 mins🥰.Thank you so much for teaching it. Internet teachers like you are a blessing for students. Lots of love...
Hi, I'm from England; and I first saw your videos when I was around 15. And I think, AP is equivalent to A-Levels, here in England. When I had to choose the subjects I wanted to do, I was completely lost. But when I first saw your videos .. Something switched on inside of me. Everything I had learnt from your videos, I had to tell everyone (Some may say I'm very nerdy, oh well) I found it so facinating. At the time, I wasnt even taking econmics, I still had a year and a bit to go! But I knew, your videos were going to be truley useful and have honestly made me so intrigued about the way the econonmy works. All my other classmates, who also take econ, I always recommend them to you. Even my teacher! You are an amazing teacher, and I'm happy your hard work and effort gone into teaching is getting recognised and being valued (I saw your vlog) Thank you so much for making these videos, these videos are very much appreciated :)
For those of you who feel that Mr. Clifford is talking to fast, I have a solution. 1. Use your mouse and hover over the video. 2. Click the setting button which is right next to the Subtitles button that displays "cc". 3. Click the speed button. 4. Adjust the speed to you liking. Give this a like if it helped you and to help other people too :)
I have a huge final coming up and I need a good grade to pass. This video is helping me so much. I understand almost nothing of what my teacher says. This video makes complete sense and is helping fill in so many blank spots for me!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'm taking Macroeconomics right now and my professor has a THICK Indian accent and we don't know WHAT he's saying. I'll be back on this channel often.
Thank you for your hard work I thought I was gonna march into my economic finals with this information memorized against my will. Now I fully understand the concept in a matter of minutes. Thank you so much!
I am an AP Micro and Macro Econ student my teacher is the worst! He literally just reads from a presentation, that too so quickly, and confuses the class so much! He goes so fast and takes tests on what he taught every day (which counts towards my final grade) if I pass the class (which, now that I have found you, might just happen) it's all because of these videos man...
I have my econ assignment on my desk and the first question is opportunity cost... had no idea. so i sear for a video and i found this.... WTF?! kid has some MAD ECON SKILLS YO! felt like I was on a highway to hell watching this. lol. Keep on rocking man.
I watched most of the videos of my course from your channel and went to take my exam. Thanks a lot, I will pass. seriously Thanks, I can confidently say I will pass.
+ACDCLeadership I hope that you keep putting these videos out, they are helping me tremendously. I have attention deficit problems and it helps when you talk faster and make random outbursts.
Also, I think Economics needs an update and create sub-imperfect competition categories. Like one for Doritos (any flavor). It's a fairly open market, but let's be honest, the stuff is up there next to insulin demand. On a serious note, does economics chime in on topics like brand loyalty, sales and production ethics, or is that more involved in something like business politics?
my Econ teacher had us watch this video to explain the PPF t o the class and I wish you were my teacher. I love the ACDC belt buckle and as someone who does make hats like that I'm jealous.
I was never understand about economic before and never found out the cleary explanation. After wathced your video I could understand little by little😁😀 Thank you so much for these videos 🙏🙏 I'm preparing to entire university exam, wish me luck ok😉😉😉 Note: I'm sorry for my poor english, it's not my native I'm from Indonesia
oh goshh !!! i'm tired of reading all sources just to understand this topic. but when i watch this videos , it just took a few minutes to understand , THANKYOU VERY MUCHHHHHH .. CACTIIIII :V lol

this is very helpful. I've been lost in my AP economics class for 3 months and 3 months of material i have to know for my midterm. Thanks!

My econ professor here is so confusing. This five minute video explained the PPF better than she did in an entire hour and a half class period. bless
Mate this video is unreal, literally explained it like a boss understand so easy. Appreciate alot!!!
Thanks so much, I learned way more from the 5min video than 5 whole days of being “taught”
you're literally the best math teacher
my professor took 3 classes each 50 minutes to explain this curve and you did in 5 minute mate
