Suggestions for improvement in economics!

All students should study the textbook each night or every other night in economics. I normally recommend fifteen to twenty minutes per night.

All students should always take and use notes on all reading quizzes in economics. In my classes, all reading quizzes are open note.

All students should complete the midterm and final study guides in economics.

All students should miss as few classes as possible. Attendance in economics class will help all students complete the major assignments. Much, if not most, of the work on the major assignments are completed in class, while I can help answer any questions or concerns with the parts of the major projects and daily assignments.

All students should complete as many past assignments as possible for some credit, while completing as many future assignments as possible.
