Short Answer Questions

• I will ask approximately 3-4 short answer

  and either one or two questions total from

What Constitutes a Good Answer?

• A good answer is
• Brief
• Precise
• Answers the exact question being asked
• Does not contain superfluous information

Time

• It will probably take you about 30-40 minutes to
  address the short answer questions
• It will probably take you about 30-40 minutes to
  answer the multiple choice
• Therefore, I am expecting the exam to take most
  of you just over one hour
• But you have the full time if you need it

8
Multiple Choice Questions

• I have written thirteen multiple choice questions
  for the exam review game.
• At least three of these questions will appear on
  the actual exam.
• There are three questions total from Chapters One
  and Two, three questions each from Chapters Three
  and Four, and three questions from our class
  discussions/case studies, plus one additional
  final question.
• There will be one 100 point, one 200 point, and
  one 300 point question from each set of chapters.
• Teams will earn the specified amount of points
  for a correct answer (and the specified amount of
  point will be deducted for an incorrect answer).
• Teams can wager up to their current point total
  for the final question round (i.e., a team with
  500 points going into the final round can wager
  anywhere from 0 to 500 points). Teams that have
  below 200 points going into the final round can
  wager up to 200 points on the final question.
• The members of the winning team will have two
  points added to their exam score and the members
  of the second place team will have one point
  added to their exam score.
