This is a compilation of some homework/classwork questions
that I have used over the course of the semester. This is a
worksheet to help you understand whether you can recall
information you learned during the semester. Try to answer
these questions without using your notes or books. Use your
textbook and notes only if you are not able to answer them.
This is not comprehensive or all inclusive. This document does
not in any way infer that this information will be directly on test
or that this is all that will be on test. It is strictly for your use to
test recall of some facts covered during the semester. You
should rely on the information given in the study summary
sheet, textbook, and notes to help you prepare for your final
exam.
