Friday Study Sheet

Oops, it's a little late today, but we have a long weekend.  I'll bet you won't start thinking about the test until Monday!  But remember, the best strategy for taking a test is not to wait until the last minute, but study a little bit every day!

We did all the homework in class--study the answer sheet.  Yesterday's post contained a lot of useful information about what will be on the test, so go back and have another look.

And go over the article about Larry Summers (also in yesterday's post if you don't have it).  Bring your questions for Tuesday and I'll answer them before the test.
