Quiz - AP Review

In class I returned the Part II Exam that students completed on Thursday.  Remember when asked to Explain something on Part II of the exam, write a one to two sentence explanation. 

Afterwards, students took a review quiz on some of the topics we have been reviewing in class.  If you have not taken the quiz please do so ASAP-as it is a means of review.

For homework, complete the MC review and the 2 part II questions below.  We will again sum up the course on Wednesday.
