The Unit Exam consists primarily of multiple choice questions in sets with different possible questions. The total value is 100 points. There are 25 questions in sets each at 4 points:
· 8 of the 25 questions come from Learning Quizzes (and concepts in Learning Quizzes help you understand content)
· 17 of them come from below.
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. The Instructor’s Lessons provide visuals, frequently in tables,
to help you compare facts to see similarities and differences. Use the Learning Quizzes listed before you use the Lesson.
