        I myself have referred to some videos for topics that I couldn’t get my head around like Aggregate Demand and Supply for an economy. The videos are quite helpful but sometimes they use a different context as to what is in the book. That’s where the major problem lies because you may find it difficult to align what you’ve learnt in the video with what’s given in the book. But for the most part Level 1 economics isn’t very complicated so if those videos are actually helping you then go for it. Just make sure you have the whole concept nailed down to the tiniest details. That way you don’t need to memorise or actually study much. It will all flow beautifully.  🙂

        That’s a great question @surangasa‌.

        I think it’s useful for specific topics that you have trouble with, or a key topic that you’re looking to be really proficient in. I don’t think that the Khan Academy will have ample topic coverage for you to use it as a complete source.

        I do agree that many YouTube videos these days are very well edited and maximise your attention and learning as a result. So I’d encourage that as much as possible!

          That’s what I thought as well. Its a great way to get the basics set in stone inside my brain. Being thorough with basics, I can go back to the material which was a bit unfathomable before having the basics. That’s what I wanted to archive after the said presumptions after all.
