Inspired by my two favorite Economics bloggers, the professors at “Environmental Economics”, I have decided to add a “AP and IB Economics Help Desk” to my blog.

The purpose is to give blog readers (mainly my students of course, although anyone is welcome to submit economics-related questions) the opportunity to submit questions relating to our AP or IB Economics course directly to me at any time, from school or from home.

Too many students end up never asking the questions they need to ask because they are shy, too busy, or just don’t think of the right questions before, during and after class. From now on, I will encourage students to submit their questions via the “Help Desk”, which can be found in the upper left corner of this blog at all times, under the “Pages” box.

I will make it a point to reply to questions within one day of their submission. Questions that I feel all students should hear the answer to will be posted to the blog and I will share the answer in an article for the world to read. Please take advantage of this feature, especially in the coming months as AP and IB exams approach! - Mr. W
