The test contains 31 multiple choice and 4 short open response questions in CP1 C block. CP2 E block has 32 multiple choice and 3 short answers. SEI G block has 20 multiple choice and 5 short answers. For multiple choice, choose the best answer! If you need to, eliminate wrong answers to find the best answer! For open response, write a logical response to the question using a specific historical example discussed in our class to prove you know. Cheating in any form is prohibited. This test judges what you know on test day. Test corrections written on paper (never typed) can be completed after grading is complete, so no need to cheat or plagiarize anyway! Also, test corrections should decrease the test anxiety! Once the test is graded, Mr. Cook will "release the grade and comments", and you will be sent an email (from google forms which gives feedback on manually entered point deductions). Mr. Cook will also tell the students that the email has been sent in class once they are all done. To prepare for a potential test correction, at that point students should study the released test and see Mr. Cook at an appropriate time for studying help also as Multiple Choice questions do not offer feedback. Turn in test corrections before the end of the quarter 11/6. Multiple choice and open response questions are based on notes but also on the course essential questions below! The course essential questions are below.
