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.

Part I – Economic Terms & Principles
Relative & Absolute Needs
First and Third World Countries
Infrastructure
Outsourcing
Capitol – Physical & Human
Economic Systems
Traditional Economy
Market Economy
Command Economy
Mixed Economy
Economic Efficiency
Economic Freedom
Economic Growth and Innovation
Globalization
Social Security
Medicare
Medicaid
Microfinancing (Grameen Bank)

Part II – College Funding and You
Podcasts in blue / Websites in red
Reach, Target, Fall Back – college choices
FAFSA – Free Application for Federal Student Aid – website
Grants, Scholarships, Loans
Subsidized & Unsubsidized Loans
Perkins Loan – website
Stafford Loan – website
Parent Plus Loan – website
Bank Loan & Credit Card
Federal Pell Grant – website
Work Study Program – website

Sin Nombre

How bout some creativity on the Google Docs – 400 word minimum – take one of the two main characters and talk to me in their voice. Assignment is due by 11:59 PM Thursday February 6. Share it with me. Allow me to edit.

Sayra – set the stage…where is she? How old is she? What has happened? Tell me her story. First person. You can take her just about anywhere you want to…make sure to think back to the events of the trip North ( in some aspect). It does not need to be a recap of the movie. This can go where you want it to go.

Casper – I know some of you wanted to take Casper’s role in this google docs piece. No problem. However, this will be a little more difficult – in part because he is dead. How bout if you place the setting – the night before they reach the river. I’m not sure where he slept…was it in the car on the trailer…or were they in the shelter by then. Or was it on the road? I can’t remember. If you do Casper do it at that time. First person please.

How bout some life. Some creativity. Get inside her skin…and her head. And inside of her heart.
