Unit 3 Notes in Advance

Below are all the notes for our next unit. I highly suggest printing them out and bringing them to class before we take the notes. It will help you spend more of your in-class mental energy on learning the concepts rather than trying to furiously writing everything down. Additionally, there are many practice problems (multiple choice and FRQs) that we may not have time to do in class. 

All notes are listed in the order we will be discussing them

Unit 2 Review Videos

I have a friend who also teaches AP Economics in San Diego county. We've worked together over the years on developing resources for AP Econ teachers. In his spare time he has put together a great youtube channel with short videos of himself explaining the most important concepts for each unit. 

Warning...he has a ton of energy and talks very fast. His hyperactivity can be a little much if you're not ready for it.

Check out the site HERE for his Unit 2 videos. 

Hope it helps as you prepare for your test!
