Abstract

The Rockonomix assignment and Web site were developed (1) as tools to reward students who possess skills and talents that are traditionally undervalued in the economics classroom (e.g., creativity, artistic talents, technological skills, and communication skills) and (2) as a means of disseminating information regarding those rewards to a mass audience in order to encourage a greater and more diverse interest in economics. Students are tasked to create a music video and replace the lyrics to a popular song with new lyrics that are based on an economics theme.
