Test on Chapters 1 and 2
A reminder that we’re taking a test on Chapters 1 and 2 on Wednesday, September 18th. The test is on basic economic terminology, opportunity costs, the production possibilities frontier, the three dominant economic systems, and economic goals.
Download the review sheet below. It’s the same one from last semester, so don’t worry that it’s labeled “Spring.”
Also at these links, you can download my slideshows from Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. They’re a little messy, but you can get a lot of helpful info from them.
