Criminal, Business, & Finance Law Class

New project:
Students in the Criminal, Business, Finance & Law class will follow a webquest created by Lynne Bailey from the New York Institute of Technology. This class is comprised of 22 seniors who will be graduating in May, 2009. After completing this 3-week unit, students will have successfully investigated consumer credit with a focus on credit cards. Since high school graduates are offered many opportunities to sign up for credit cards, this exercise will help them to develop an understanding of terms, compare offerings, and decide how much of a credit line is appropriate. To record their findings, students will participate in the creation of Wiki pages under a home page called "Creditability". Click here to view their work
