Amnesty Weekend for Economics and Sociology Students

President's Day Amnesty Weekend

This weekend, students in Economics and Sociology that are behind in certain assignments may complete the work and submit it at the beginning of the Period on Tuesday for Economics and Wednesday for Sociology. Work submitted will be awarded up to 50% credit and allow the student to earn extra credit on future assignments.

Beginning next week, only students who have completed ALL regular class assignments will be eligible to earn Extra Credit. You must get caught-up on your missing work if you intend to earn a passing grade by undertaking multiple Extra Credit assignments.


Economics Chapter 4 Quiz - Demand

All Economics students must also take the online quiz by clicking here. This 25 question quiz has one question that is a narrative and is worth 2 points so until I review your answers the maximum score you can obtain in 23 points. You only need to answer this question a single time so if you re-take the quiz, simply insert "already answered" when this question shows up in subsequent attempts.

Here is the question:
Considering the Classroom Economy simulation we have just begun, provide two or three examples of possible classroom "jobs" you could perform in addition to your regular classwork.

Think about what contributions to our class you could make at the beginning, during, and at the conclusion of each class period. There are jobs that I need help with each period.
Also, consider what actual jobs exist outside our classroom that we can simulate in the Classroom Economy where property is traded, along with balancing your checkbooks.

Finally, you should begin planning for ACTUAL potential careers and jobs SOON!
