Classroom+Economics

=Classroom Economics=

Money is defined as any commodity that is used as a means of payment. In this Economics class, our means of payment are call "Gandhi's." As part of this course, you are required to "work" and "earn" your education. Below are some of the guidelines used in class to determine how much each student earns. At the end of each marking period, students are able to "cash in" any extra Gandhi's for extra credit applied to one test grade. (Example: Test #2 grade is an 80%. At the end of the marking period you decide to "cash in" 20 extra Gandhi's. Test #1 grade become a 100%.)
