Unit 5: Agriculture and Rural Land-Use Patterns and Processes

 
Want to retake the Unit 5 Exam? Here's how:
  1. Write down your score (number correct/28, not percentage), then review the exam on AP Classroom and write in a complete sentence the reason you missed every incorrect answer. This can not be typed. It must be hand written. See me if you have a specific question about any of them if you still don't understand why you were wrong.
  2. Turn this in directly to me and we will schedule a retake.
  3. Whatever you make on the retake will be averaged with your original grade, and that will replace it in the gradebook.
 
***Starting this quarter, unexcused late work will be worth no more than 50%***
