AP Economics
Welcome to the web site for AP Economics. Here you will find a variety of information critical to your success in the course.
First, if you miss class you will want to look at the current assignments page. Second, you will find links to the resources available to you through the Krugman and Wells textbook site. Finally, I will occasionally post links to articles about economics and economics policy that you will need to read for class.
Here you will find a list of current assignments. You can subscribe to this as an RSS feed if you wish.
