The price of the textbook is covered within the price of the course. I love the curriculum so far. We have ellumination sessions, which are live lessons where you are able to converse with other members in your class and the teacher as well. In the session, the teacher has a whiteboard in the center that we all can write on. There is also a typing box where we comment and converse with one another. The teacher will be using a microphone, which we can also use to speak. You will have to go to four live lessons in order to complete the course and there will usually be a small assignment that is relevant to the lesson that was covered.

Yes, we have a message center that you can email any of your teachers through, in addition to other students in the class. The teacher will then respond back to you within 24 hours. AP Economics can have some tricky multiple choice questions, but overall it’s not too bad. We have to do about 50 pages of activities that correspond with the reading in the textbook, which I feel serves as a sufficient means of clarification. After completing those activities we compare our answers to an answer key and then give feedback regarding what we found challenging and how helpful we found the material. Sometimes if we are stuck on something, for example, aggregate demand charts, then the teacher will set up an ellumination session for clarification.

AP Economics has almost no homework aside from those activities. There will usually be a quiz or two and then the unit exam. The teacher will then grade your work and give you feedback, if necessary.

No problem!
