Once we have completed the study guide, we can get together for a chat here Sunday evening at 7:00 p.m. There is now enough room for the entire class to participate if you so desire. I hope this process is beneficial to you as you prepare for the final.
The questions for the final exam will be selected from content covered in class, posted on Blackboard, and presented in the required course readings. While all the Gall, Gall, and Borg (7th edition) chapter objectives identify important course outcomes, the following objectives identify the most important aspects of each assigned chapter for which individual test items may be developed. The Final will consist of fifty one-point multiple-choice items and twelve short answer questions worth from 2 to 12 points each and also totaling 50 points.
