ECON Final Exam Review 2015

The Final Exam will consist of two parts.  Part 1 – Economic Terms will be Multiple Choice.  Part II – College Terms will be short answer.   For Part 1 – Terms and Principles I went through and limited the exam to the titles of the podcasts in question.  If you go back and listen to all of these podcasts and are prepared, you’ll do fine on the exam.
