The Roaring Twenties Test is Thursday, January 16 on google classroom/forms.
All Tests are 100% based on class notes and discussions. The notes are based on the book "The Americans" Chapter 20 and 21 and other sources. Text links given each day.
For the 14 multiple choice, choose the best answer! If you need to, eliminate wrong answers to find the best answer! For the 3 open response questions, write a logical response to the question answering all parts of the question and use 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. 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. Test corrections are only accepted on paper. On test corrections explain why the correct answer is indeed correct. Do not just list it. Thanks.
