Hi, I was just wondering. When is the test, and are we supposed to do something for every one of these topics?
As stated in class, the exam will be on Friday, January 22nd. (It is your semester final). Yes you will be expected to complete something for each of these key topics on the Exam to display an understanding of the key information from the Years of Crisis Unit. Please let me know if you have any other questions on the content or about the exam itself. :)
For the exam, is the main point to explain as much info as possible to show that you understand those topics??? So is it pretty much on your opinion/knowledge on each of these topics?
