Final Exam Review Instructor’s Notes
Session Outline NOTE: This final exam review session is designed for instructors who are teaching this book as part of a credited course from the Educational Institute. If your students are not enrolled in this course with the Institute, much of what follows will not apply to your situation. However, you may still find sections I. C, D, and E useful. I.
Review for the Final Exam Inform the class that this review session will attempt to anticipate Final Exam questions. A. Sources for exam questions The exam questions will be taken only from the textbook. The exam will not include: 1.
Any separate but related information you may have introduced
2.
Any separate but related discussions
3.
Additional material introduced by guest speakers, videotapes, field trips, etc.
B. Exam format and policies The Final Exam will contain multiple-choice questions. Each question is worth one point. There is only one correct answer for each question. The correct answer is the single best answer. Generally, if students have studied their assignments carefully, they need not worry about successfully completing this exam. A score of 90 or higher will entitle the student to receive on his or her certificate the designation “With Honors.” To achieve a score of 90 or higher, the student must possess more than casual knowledge of the material. If a student fails this exam, he or she will be allowed to sit for a “retake” exam at no extra charge. (A third exam is possible, though at additional expense to the student.) The retake is similar in format to the original exam, though the questions are substantially different. C. Tips on course review Inform the students that it is not a good idea for them to go back and reread the whole book, since this will result in just as much time being spent on familiar material as on unfamiliar material. The students should be encouraged to spend more time on those topics that present some difficulty and to minimize their study of topics that they already understand. D. Useful information for exam review By now, you probably know many of the areas in which discussion and review are important. Again, do not attempt to cover everything in this course. To make it easier for students to ask questions, this session need not be conducted as formally as the previous sessions. You may wish to review any topics that were troublesome when initially presented. E. Anticipating Final Exam questions 1.
Divide the class into four groups as follows: Group one: Group two:
Text chapters 1–5 Text chapters 6–10
2
Review Session
Session Outline Group three: Text chapters 11–15 Group four: Text chapters 16–20 2.
Have each student create 10 questions that cover the chapters assigned to the group. All 10 questions should be multiple-choice. They should also be based on the competencies found at the beginning of each chapter. They should write an answer key on a separate sheet of paper.
3.
Once the students have created their questions, take two students out of each group to form new groups. All four of the original groups should be represented in each new group. For example, take two students from each of the old groups and put them in a new group. Continue forming new groups in this way until all students are in new groups. Each new group will have no more than eight students.
4.
Have the students exchange questions and take one another’s tests.
5.
Have the students score their tests and discuss the answers.
II. Close the session Announce the place and time of the Final Exam.
