Welcome back from our 3-day weekend! This week, will be covering more Supply and Demand. Students, please make sure you are reviewing and previewing the textbook nightly. We have noticed many students struggling with this new material, so make sure you are taking the necessary steps to facilitate your understanding. Furthermore, all students received information about a very helpful companion website for the textbook. This site contains practice tests and quizzes that are very similar to those taken in class. Please make sure you visit the site and practice the material. We are two weeks into the semester with about 7 more to go before your EOCT!!!
