Thursday & Tuesday, February 16 & 21, 2017



Dear Class:
  • Know the acronym PACE, the purpose of this class,  and how it will benefit them. 
  • Know how to navigate the class website to complete class work.
  • Understand the value of self-assessments

1.   Log into CIS again.  Today we will explore what it will take to live on a fixed budget.  To do this, we will be looking at "Work Importance Locator" which is under the "Exploration" tab.  Please screen shot the result, copy and paste into a new doc entitled "Your name_Work_Importance_Locator".  We will explore this later as we define the occupation you wish to achieve and what the resulting pay will be.  The occupation will be defined by all of the surveys you took!


(When you get back into CIS, we used your student id for the user name and then for password put the first letter of your first name capitalized, the first letter of your last name lower case and then your student id number.)

2.  Today we will explore what it will take to live on a fixed budget.

We will do this together in class.
