The Objective Exam will consist primarily of multiple choice questions. The total value is
100 points. There are 25 questions each at 4 points. Reminder: Unit 1 consists
of Lessons 1-4. The word Lessons refers
to Blackboard learning modules. 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 Lessons have links from your instructor and
sometimes additional resources such as maps and Learning Quizzes. Note:
·
8 of the 25
questions come from these Learning Quizzes (and those concepts in the Learning
Quizzes help you understand the other content in the Unit)
·
17 of them come from
below. (Questions are written so you do not have to prove that you know
everything, but that you know something.)
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 links provide visuals,
frequently in tables, to help you compare facts to see similarities and
differences.
