Homework: | Work on PS 4
Work on calculating the winner of your election. Turn in journal today. Notice that we skipped Chapters 2 and 3. Those are both interesting, and could be the springboard to a commercial topic or independent activity. Chapter 2 could be of particular interest to those with interests in Political Science or business: it relates to measuring how much power different individuals, districts, states, etc have. And while I'm on the subject, Chapter 9, which we also be skipping, may be a good springboard for those with interests in art or music. | |
