Week of December 17 - 21

Hi everyone,

It seems crazy, but it's already the last week of the semester. My classes have been great and I have really enjoyed all of them. Here is the schedule for the final week:

Computers 1
On Monday, we will finish up the project that we started together. It took a bit longer than I had planned.

On Tuesday and Wednesday we will review. Students will get all of their old tests back to study from for the final exam. These tests must be returned to me on the day of the test or the exam grade will be docked 50%. 

The final exam has three parts. The written part is comprised of questions taken from the chapter tests. The questions are matching, multiple choice and true/false. Students will also have to label both Word and Excel screens. Next, students will complete a short activity using Word, showing basic commands such as adding a header, using clipart, etc. Finally, they will create a small worksheet in Excel using the formulas they have learned.

Business Concepts
On Monday, students will get all of their old tests back to study from for the final exam. These tests must be returned to me on the day of the test or the exam grade will be docked 50%. We will correct the tests in class and review. The test is made up of matching, multiple choice and true/false questions.

On Tuesday and Wednesday students will work on creating "end of quarter" Powerpoints describing the ten most important things they learned during the last nine weeks.

Business Law
On Monday, students will continue to prepare for their debates and the debates will take place on Tuesday. Many of the students are very passionate about their topics so the debates should be exciting. On Monday, the few students taking the final exam will receive corrected copies of their chapter tests to use as study guides for the final.  These tests must be returned to me on the day of the test or the exam grade will be docked 50%. The test is made up of matching, multiple choice and true/false questions.

I think that's it for this week and for the semester. I hope everyone has a relaxing winter break.

Happy holidays!
