April 16 - Unit 4 Review Materials
There are two review videos for Unit 4: The Resource Market. The first is a general review of all of Unit 4. The second is a video going over the Substitution/Output/Net Effect. I've also attached the power point about the S/O/N Effects that I am using in the video.
Don't forget to go to the AP Website and at least look over (or better yet attempt to do) the old FRQs. Here's the link for that:
Also don't forget that there is a Zoom meeting on Monday for questions about Units 3 and 4. There will also be another Zoom meeting on Tuesday for questions about any AP Micro stuff. Both of these meetings will be at 10:00am.
However, if you have questions, you don't have to wait until then, feel free to email me right away.

AP Review Day 1 - Unit 1
As a reminder of our schedule. Today I am posting the videos for Unit 1 review.
Tomorrow/Thursday, I will post the Unit 2 videos.
On Friday we will have a Zoom meeting and you can ask questions about Unit 1 or 2. Please watch the videos first, they will likely answer a lot of your questions.
Also on Friday I will post the Unit 3 video.
On Saturday I will post the Unit 4 video. (If I get Unit 4 done sooner, I will post it on Friday too.)
On Monday of next week we will have a Zoom meeting about Unit 3 and Unit 4. Again, please watch the videos first, then come with questions.
On Tuesday of next week we will have a Zoom meeting in which you can ask about anything.
All of the Zoom meetings will be at 10:00 am and will last as long as needed.
Here are the videos over Unit 1.
There two videos because there is a mistake in the first video. The data I am using on a chart in the video is wrong, but I didn't notice until I started talking about it. I also didn't want to refilm the whole thing.
Watch Video Part 1 until 28:30. Then end it early. I will be talking about the terms of trade between Australia and France.
Part 2 will pick up at the same place but with a chart that doesn't have issues.
Unit 1 Video Part 1 - (Stop video at 28:30)
Unit 1 Video Part 2
Occasionally when I play back the videos they look horrible (kind of overexposed and everything is white). If that happens, just close the video completely and restart it and it will look fine.
Tomorrow/Thursday, I will post the Unit 2 videos.
On Friday we will have a Zoom meeting and you can ask questions about Unit 1 or 2. Please watch the videos first, they will likely answer a lot of your questions.

May 12 - Last Regular Day/Begin of AP Review
The End of Regular Class:
Just a reminder that today is the last day to turn in anything or to make anything up. You have until midnight tonight. I have to finalize and submit your work early tomorrow so there is no extra time.
Be sure to get all your work turned in by midnight!
The Beginning of Reviewings for the Test:
Tomorrow we will start reviewing for the AP test. That means if you are not taking the AP test today is your last day.
Here is my current plan for reviewing for the AP test. I will be posting a video that is a review of each Unit. There will be one unit per day.
We will also be holding Zoom meetings. The point of the Zoom meetings will be for you to ask questions. My hope is you will watch the review videos and then come to the related zoom meeting to ask questions about that material. Currently my plan is to have the Zoom meeting for questions at 10:00am.
Here is the schedule for videos and meetings.
Wednesday (5/13): Unit 1 Review Video Posted
Thursday (5/14): Unit 2 Review Video Posted
Friday (5/15): Unit 1 & 2 Zoom Meeting & Unit 3 Review Video Posted
Saturday (5/16): Unit 4 Review Video Posted
Sunday (5/17): Nothing Scheduled
Monday (5/18): Unit 3 & 4 Zoom Meeting
Tuesday (5/19): Final Zoom Meeting for any final questions
Wednesday (5/20): TEST DAY! I'll be at my computer if you have questions you can email me.
I am in no way suggesting that these videos and Zoom meetings will be enough of a review. In addition to studying your notes and classwork, I strongly suggest you go back and practice on old FRQs.
Here is a link to the web page with all of the old FRQs:
AP Micro FRQs
Doing these old FRQs will be a particularly useful way to study for two reasons.
1st - There is no Multiple Choice this year. So you will only be doing FRQ questions.
2nd - They are not going to want to do something unusual for the questions this year. They don't want there to be any unnecessary problems. As such, I suspect the questions will be very standard and well known. In other words, I suspect they will be very much like old questions.
Just a reminder that today is the last day to turn in anything or to make anything up. You have until midnight tonight. I have to finalize and submit your work early tomorrow so there is no extra time.
Be sure to get all your work turned in by midnight!

The last assignments for AP Micro were posted last week. You have today and tomorrow to finish up any missing work and assignments.
All work, quizzes, test and everything must be turned in by midnight tomorrow (Tuesday 5/12). After that the grade book will be closed and I will be submitting grades on Wednesday.
We will also be starting our review for the AP exam on Wednesday. I'll post specifics on that tomorrow.

May 8 - Special Friday Post
Just found out that grades for Seniors have to be posted on Wednesday. Thus, including today, we only have five more days left in which you can make up old work and complete new things.
We still have the last quiz to take. So, I am going to post it today, so you can have the maximum amount of time to work on it and turn it in.
Here is the last quiz.
Unit 4 Quiz
We don't usually have a final, because we have the EOC. But since we didn't have the EOC, I wanted to give a last opportunity to help your grade out. Thus we will have one more opportunity to help your grade with a last test on USATestPrep.
Instead of a final we will have an "EOC Replacement". If you wish to take it, go to USATestprep.com. Go to the Econ EOC section and click the "Take a Test" button. Take the 100% test. This will be your final exam. You only get 1 attempt at this and I will take the first grade you make. (You don't get to change your answers and you don't get to try again.) The first 100% test I see between now (Friday at 1:00) and Tuesday (At 11:59 PM) is the grade that will go in the gradebook (if it brings your grade up).
Except for the quiz above and this Replacement EOC, these are the last of the items to go into the gradebook.
We will use Monday and Tuesday of next week for you to finish up your work and turn things in. If you have questions please email them to me.
Starting on Wednesday we will begin reviewing for the AP test. There will be a separate post about that shortly.
Again, if you have any questions, please email me and ask.

May 7 - Factor Market Work and Zoom Meeting Link
Today we have one last set of worksheets to cover.
Problems Dealing With Factor Markets
With that we have finished the notes and work for AP Micro.
On Monday I will post a last quiz for the class. Again it is a chart that has MRP and MCL on it, and it has a section for you to draw the different types of labor market graphs.
Zoom Meeting: Sorry if you tried to join the Zoom meeting. Something seems to be malfunctioning with Zoom. I'm trying to figure out if it is me or them. Email me if you have questions.
Lastly, if you are taking the AP Micro Test, please sign up for the AP Micro Test Review Remind, and pass the work to others so that they know to sign up as well. Particularly people who had the class last semester.
You can join the remind by
1) Texting @faakf8 to the number 81010
or
2) There are alternate instructions on this link:

We will start reviewing in one form or the other next week.
