 * Back-up Plan:** Data from banks and stock quotes can be downloaded and saved in public folders beforehand. ||
 * Lesson Reflection and Notes:** Students must stay focused on the task at hand during the class time allotted. It is easy to get lost in all of the possibilities out there. It is important that students make the connection that an understanding of exponential functions can help them to make predictions about the future of their investments. ||
