All econometrics book authors agree on how difficult it is to teach econometrics to undergraduate economics students, especially because of their poor preparation in statistical mathematics and matrix algebra. Experience also blames poor information given to students on economics and econometrics studies. Econometrics can be focused on three levels depending on the interested group. Undergraduate courses must be demanding in statistics, matrix algebra, and cases applied to the student context. Teachers must be economists to explain the applications of content in various practice areas; failure in this goal produces apathy and desertion. Other causes of the problem may be teachers, the focus of the curriculum, the business of education, etc.
