The Objective Exam consists primarily of
multiple choice questions drawn from the terms below. The time is 30 minutes. The
total value is 100 points. There are 25 questions each at 4 points. Reminder:
Unit 1 consists of Chapters 16-19. 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 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).
