Final Exam Study Guide

As a class, you will divide and conquer the study guide for your final exam. Click on this link to get to your collaborative study guide (Google Doc). Edit the cells in the second column to identify or answer the content in the first column.

Use your previous tests/quizzes for most of the information and use your textbooks for what's left. I will use your work to produce online flashcards that you can study for the exam. So, your flashcards will only be as good as the work you do on the Google Doc. Try to get it all done by Wednesday afternoon, at which time I will make the flashcard set.

UPDATE: Your flashcards are ready! Here's the link. Note well that there are some gaps and perhaps some inaccuracies. So, please fill in any gaps and correct any errors. Help each other out!

Sit together and work in the following groups on Monday:

• Chapter 13: Thaddeus, Julia
• Chapter 14: Taylor, Gabe
• Chapter 15: Matthieu, Kevin
• Chapter 16: Maya, Fred, Raoul
• Chapter 17: Michelle, Silvia

You may share your handwritten notes or previous quizzes/tests with other groups. If your group is finished with the assigned chapter, feel free to split up and help other groups with their chapters. Be careful not to edit the same cell at the same time. The document will be closed for editing on Tuesday afternoon. (You will still be able to view the document until your final exam.) So, work on this outside of class on Monday afternoon or evening, if necessary. This is an ungraded assignment. Your incentive is helping yourself and your classmates to learn and achieve higher scores on the final exam.

Brainscape: Flashcard App for iOS

Great work, freshmen, on your collaboration on the study guide. I will turn that work into online decks of flashcards that you can study using any modern web browser or the iOS app (freely available in the App Store). Continue to work on the Google Doc until I create the flashcards some time tonight. I will update this post when they are ready.

UPDATE: The flashcard set is ready. You'll have to create a login to access the full decks. Again, I encourage you to edit the cards to make them more accurate or fill any gaps. Happy studying!
