Study Guide - Spring 2015
The exam will be a combination of multiple-choice and fill in the blank questions that will focus on what
we covered in the PowerPoint’s, Textbook, and class lectures. In class I have stressed the importance of
strategic thinking and so some of the questions will test your ability to think through an answer vs. just
memorizing. The following is a list of items that you should review in preparation for the exam.
