Educational Links and Additional Help
If anyone needs additional tutoring, please see me/email me to set up individual times and dates. I can also provide links to additional econ resources, if needed.
Honors Economics/Economics Test Dates
Test dates are not definite, as I prefer to base test dates on student readiness, not a strict schedule dictated by school policy. With that being said, it appears your test on Unit V, Globalization, will be next Monday, November 8th--if all goes as planned.
