NOTE TO
STUDENTS (AND PARENTS): Welcome to the last year of your (your student's) high
school career Economics is a course that is
required for graduation. I fully expect you (your student) to succeed in
economics and graduate in May. There are several things students can do to insure
success.
Read the textbook.
Economics includes many ideas and concepts that are new to students. Being
familiar with the material before I discuss it in class will help students
understand it better.
Take notes in class. I
purposely emphasize the material from the text that I consider most
important. This emphasis provides a good indication of what will be on the
test. Taking notes in class helps students learn the material and assists in
determining what to study for tests.
Make doing homework a learning process.
I deliberately selected the questions from each section that I want students
to complete for homework. Accurately completing these homework questions
also helps students prepare for tests.
Use the practice quizzes.
They provide an introduction to the types of questions that might be on
tests and even include explanations of the right answers. These quizzes are
excellent study tools.
Come for tutoring when extra help is needed.
Economics is a cumulative subject. Topics we cover in
the first few chapters are used throughout the semester. It is essential
that students get tutoring early to avoid being left behind.
Following these suggestions will make this last year
more enjoyable and more successful (for both students and parents). I look
forward to watching you (your student) walk across the stage in May. |
