1960's and 1970's Test studying (Chapter 28, 30 and 32)

The 1960's and 1970's Test is Friday, 5/1 during class time.  It is 100% notes and discussion based.  The notes and discussions are majorly based on the Americans Chapters 28 and 30 and 32.

OR

-Make a claim regarding Nixon's or Carter's foreign and domestic policies

Cheating in any form is prohibited.  This test judges what you know on test day.  Test corrections will be completed after grading is complete, so no need to cheat or plagiarize anyway!  Also, the availability of 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 test corrections, 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.  Test corrections are great because you put the question and answer together while explaining why it is the correct answer!  This makes it so you understand and remember it!  

Multiple choice and open response questions are based on notes but also on the course essential questions below! When studying on your own, try to come up with everything they know for each essential question pertaining to our recently studied 1960's and 1970's unit.
