Tomorrow is another chance to finish this classwork and turn it in. If you are unsure about any aspect of the work, we will review it after the holiday.

The assignments include: today’s classwork on Reasons for Changes in Demand, and yesterday’s classwork from Chapter 4/Section 2, “Factors Affecting Demand.” That assignment required you to take detailed notes from the text, reproduce the graph demonstrating a change in demand and finally to complete the assessment.
