Reminders: First, let me note that I will, FINALLY, be wrapping up my lectures on the Basic Definitions and then moving on to Dr. Tatum's book on Tuesday 10/13. I anticipate that we will be able to get through Chapter 2 by the end of next week. Our midterm exam will be on Thursday 10/22. In preparation for that, I want the families to begin brainstorming some midterm exam questions that I can use on that exam. Below are the details of what I want you to do:
FAMILY ACTIVITY: MAKING UP MIDTERM EXAM QUESTIONS
Drawing on anything we've covered in class since the beginning of the semester, including any handouts, class lectures on the video series, and blog material, I want each of the families to come up with FOUR short-answer questions. Keep in mind some of the samples I've given in class. I do NOT want any True/False or Multiple-Choice questions. Please also keep in mind that I will be looking for questions that deal with fairly significant points, not relatively insignificant facts. When you submit the questions also include the answers as well. After I get all these questions I will review them and try to select at least TWO from each family; for each additional question I select that family will earn a bonus point, so you may earn up to two bonus points for this exercise.
I will give you some time to confer with your family members on both Tuesday 10/13 and Thursday 10/15 of this coming week. Each family should designate someone to be responsible for submiting your questions. THE DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, OCT. 16TH BY NOON. Put the questions and answers in an email to me, or you may submit them on a sheet of paper in class or drop it by my office. I need to have them by then so I can make my selections and post them on the blog, as well as make up the test itself.
All participating family members will earn 4 activity points for this exercise.
See you next Tuesday 10/13.
