Final Project

Instead of a final exam students will put together a final project which will be turned in and presented to the class during the final week of school.

Periods 1 and 3 need to be ready to present starting on Monday May 15.

Period 4 needs to be ready to present starting on Tuesday May 16.

I will randomly select the presentation order, so all students need to be done and ready by their due date listed above.

Students will prepare a personal budget that summarizes typical monthly expenses for a single person, living alone and newly entering the job market. The project will take place over several weeks and will involve work to be done both at school and at home. The project and all its components can be found on our course Google Classroom page. The following is a brief summary of the steps involved in completing the project, with grade percentages in parentheses.

1. Overview (5%)
2. Job Details (10%)
3. Investments (10%)
