FIGHT! Prez vs Congress

We're studying Chapters 11,14, and 12 to better understand how powers are divided between the Executive and Legislative branches.  We'll end by going through how a bill becomes a law.  Expect a quiz on Ch. 11 on Friday with a quiz on Ch 14 on Tuesday, followed by an exam on the three chapters next Friday.  I'll go through the slides - but it would be a HUGE benefit if you simply read the chapters BEFORE the lectures.  I guarantee you that things will make much more sense and you will have a better understanding of the material.  Then the exams won't be so scary!

In class today, you took the Test for Economic Literacy (TEL).  I am sure there are plenty of things you know nothing about.  There are words you may not understand - just plow through it and do the best you can.  This is a pre-test.  You'll take the post-test at the end of the semester.  We compare the results.  If I did a good job (with you doing your part), you should improve a lot.  If not - we'll have to see what went wrong.

We'll finish the Ch. 11 slides tomorrow and hopefully start on 14.  You'll take a quiz on Friday, followed by a short video
