Hi, my name is Greg Pratt and I teach economics at Mesa Community College in Mesa, Arizona. My teaching takes me from the classroom to the online world as I teach macro and micro economics, international trade and US economic history. Since 1995 I have attempted to effectively use instructional technologies in the classroom and in cyberspace. While not facilitating student learning I enjoy reading, running and resting. I am currently reading One Palestine by Thomas Segey and From Colony to Superpower just arrived, if I can find the time to begin Herring's ambitious survey of foreign policy in the US past.

I teach Macroeconomics and Microeconomics Principles, Economic History of the US and the World Economy and has over twenty-five years experience in education.

I have been a high school teacher and have taught at the community college level since 1984.

I earned BS and MBA degrees from Arizona State University where I taught undergraduate economics classes.



I completed the Graduate Certificate Program in E-Learning and Online Teaching at the University of Wisconsin during the fall of 2008.

I began teaching online in 1995 at Mesa Community College and developed for online instruction and taught the four economics classes that form the basis of the economics program at MCC.

Prior to his work my higher education, I worked as a commercial loan officer for a regional bank headquartered in Arizona and as a tax auditor for the City of Scottsdale.



I had a swell time running in the 40th annual Phoenix YMCA Half Marathon on Oct. 25, 2008.




I had a swell time running in the 32nd annual New Times 10k on Nov. 11, 2007.

The textbook I use in my economics instruction is by Greg Mankiw
