Welcome New Econ Classes…the Online Version!!!

Hello, all. I know things are crazy with this coronavirus and such. Rest assured, everything is going to be okay. Make sure you stay up to speed on the assignments. Don’t allow yourself to get behind.

The Economics page is where you should hang out when you can. Any and all resources can be found there, to include instructions, links, study guides, videos, and so much more. It is your friend.

I will be using Google Classroom while we are out. Your particular class code can be found on the Econ page.

Don’t hesitate to email me if you need anything or if you have any questions.

Enjoy!!!

Access to CHS email and resources during shutdown

From Mrs, Blaydes in the Media Center:

“Please inform your students that if they have trouble accessing their CHS Google Account at home during the shutdown, they should email:  library@campbellhigh.net.  Their email should include: complete name, student ID number and what problems they are having.   You can post this email support address on your blogs, REMIND, SYNERGY, and any other parent communication.”

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you!

If you would like to retake the Microeconomics Exam, log into USA TEST PREPS and take the MICROECONOMICS RETAKE assessment.

(If you need instructions, go to the Economics page)

You can take the Microeconomics Exam Retake up to 3 (three) times.

If you choose, I will replace the score you made on the i-respond portion of today’s exam with the best of the 3 scores achieved on the USA Test Prep Retake.

The i-respond portion of the exam was worth 80% of the overall exam grade. The Circular Flow and Crazy Cow Supply/Demand questions were the remaining 20% of the exam grade.
