Stocks
This project was actually really fun. Students were given $100.00 virtual cash to invest in stocks. It was really exciting, knowing that we would be using this later on in life with real money. There is also a ranking system in the classroom for students to stay competitive.
Classwork/Homework
I consider all classwork and homeworks of my economic class to be key assignments because they each worth a lot of points. Most of them worth about 100 points each, so if I don't turn in one it will drop my grade dramatically. This affects me because it makes me a more responsible person. I can feel the pressure of finishing every assignment on time.
