Unit 3 Final Exam has been moved to Thursday, May 15th
You wrote your Unit 3 Part A In-Class Writing Assignment today in class. Hopefully, you'll get results back next week. I am moving your Unit 3 Final Exam (multiple choice) to next Thursday (May 15th). Your homework assignment: send me by e-mail 5 multiple choice questions (with answers), 1 find the fib set of statements, 1 clue-style question, and 1 list-style question. This must be sent to me by e-mail Friday before 9 p.m. The study guide for the Unit 3 Final Exam is below.

Please make sure that you have read Chapters 10-14. Please make sure that you have the following PowerPoint presentations, and that you study from them:
  • "Foundations of Economic Globalization"
  • "The Expansion of Economic Globalization"
  • "Challenges and Opportunities of Economic Globalization"
  • "The Impact of Economic Globalization on Environments"
  • "Globalization and Sustainability"

Make sure that you have reviewed the Key Terms from Unit 3 (all the terms listed on the Unit 3 Worksheet, plus the extra key terms that appeared in the PowerPoint presentations). The Unit 3 Final Exam will consist of 55 multiple choice questions, and will be held on Thursday, May 15th.
