STUDY QUESTIONS: WEEK 5+
About Quiz and Exam:
The midterm will be in ARC 147 on Tuesday, October 28th. The midterm will cover
all material since the beginning of the class. You will have the entire time to
complete the exam —approximately 110 minutes for the midterm.
You will need to purchase a Scantron form at the University Bookstore (50¢)
and bring a No. 2 pencil. There will be a penalty if you do not have a Scantron
form. You must bring your student ID card. Please be on time. We will
start promptly at 11:30. No one will be admitted after 12:00.
The midterm will consist of 52 multiple choice items. It will cover the same material
as the quiz as well as all new material since the quiz. Some will focus on recall of
concepts and definitions, while others will tell you a brief story or describe a scenario
and then ask you to identify properly an idea or concept within it. Some items will ask
you to indicate which concepts go together. All of the materials on the quiz and tests
will be mentioned in one way or another in the weekly study questions. If it’s not
there, it will not be on the test.
