The Objective Exam will consist primarily of multiple choice questions drawn from the terms
below. The total value is 100 points. There are 25 questions each at 4 points. Reminder:
Unit 1 consists of Chapters 1-4. The word Chapter
refers to numbered parts a) of your textbook and b) to the specific Blackboard
learning module for that chapter. Blackboard learning modules have a Table of
Contents on the left that let you see all of the resources available so you can
click on the one you want. All chapters have links from your instructor and a
folder containing specific primaries. Some also include resources such as maps.
The Objective Exam is available for 30
minutes. The password for all exams is onetimeonly
(no capital letters and no spaces).
The 5 Ws rule is a good guide to
understanding the items below: you should know Who, What, When, Where, and Why—and
sometimes How. You can look up these
individual items in the textbook index at the back of the book or find them
covered next to an item listed below. Instructor’s links provide visuals,
usually in tables, that let you compare information so you can quickly see
similarities and differences (such as items 28-31).

The Concept Exam will consist of a variety of types of questions ranging
from multiple choice questions to short essay. The total value is 50 points.
The Required Concepts folder
contains a list of all concepts, including which apply to Unit 1. One week
before the opening of the Unit Concepts Exam, I will place a specific list here
if one or more students post in Course Questions that he or she would like to
see that list. You will then know all possible questions, but you will not know
which one you will be asked on your exam. (FYI: I create my tests in sets so
they vary for students.) All Concepts
exams are 25 minutes. The Concepts Exam for Unit 1 consists of 10 multiple
choice definitions of concepts at 4 points each. You have a short essay to
answer for 10 points. Using 2 of the concepts you are asked, you give examples
of uses of that concept in Unit 1.
The link to possible concepts to define. Look for the asterisk (the *). Post on these in the
1-1 Collaboration.
The Written Exam will consist of 1 essay done in Blackboard’s essay
tool. You must cite the page number for each fact you use. I will grade your
answer side by side with the textbook—I will know easily whether you read and
wrote with care. The total value is 50 points with 25 points for contents and
25 points for following all 5 Good Habits for Evidence. One week before the
opening of the Unit Written Exam, I will place a list here of all possible
essay questions if one or more students post in Course Questions that he or she
would like to see that list. You will then know all possible questions, but you
will not know which one you will be asked on your exam. (FYI: I create my tests
in sets so they vary for students.) Because
you MUST cite for EACH fact (in your own words or as a quotation) you use, you
have 45 minutes for the Written Exam. The link to the possible questions covers
how to cite. The link to possible questions
