In Economics, this week, we are winding things up, headed toward the EOCT next week. Topics we'll be dealing with in class will include measuring the performance of the economy, the government's role in the economy, and international trade.

The only homework this week is to study your textbook, every single chapter, and your classnotes for that EOCT. It will be administered next Monday and Tuesday and it will count as the Final Exam in Economics. Next Wednesday we'll begin our look at U.S. Government.

Don't forget to utilize the previously released EOCT that is posted on my BLOG.
