Assignment 3

Briefly review the pages where your name appears and create TWO questions you would put on the exam if you were the professor. It should be an OPEN question, such as "Describe the meaning of the phrase ......" or, "What does the term ...... mean?" or, "List three details related to ....."

This activity is designed to create a discussion board review for Midterm 1! Its technique has been called "Cornell Notes," (from Cornell University) which is based on the idea that by creating a question, it prompts the mind to search for an answer. Thus, we practice answering questions and feel more comfortable expressing our answers during an exam. :)
