You do not have to insert a CD at any point. Clarify for me exactly where it says this and I will help. You only have to answer the qs that are in the handout page of our class website. The first three assignments. The adobe file that you open should help you to answer these questions but you do not have to do the activities in the adobe file. Below are the quesitons you answer. Check out the class blog as well. You can find the blog by going to the website and clicking on the class news section and going to the ap human geo news.
