Studying for the Progressivism and Imperialism Test (Chapter 17 and 18 of "The Americans)

The Progressivism and Imperialism Test is Thursday, December 5 in class on google forms and is a 2nd quarter summative grade!  The Test is 100% notes-based, other than a map section based on the US Imperialism map.  Class notes for this unit were based on Chapter 17 and 18 of "The Americans" textbook.  Textbooks can be borrowed any time from 2216!  Also, the links to the textbook are shared each class block!  The test contains 28 multiple choice and 6 short open response questions in CP1. The CP2 test has 31 Multiple Choice and 3 open response.  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 will be allowed 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.  See Mr. Cook at an appropriate time for studying help also as Multiple Choice questions do not offer feedback.    Multiple choice and open response questions are based on notes but also on the course essential questions below!
