This assignment, worth 10% of your final grade, will be completed in class on Tuesday, May 11th.

Students will work together to write a question for the final exam, including its answer. This assignment includes an individual and a group component.

  1. Individually, students will need to provide Al with a piece of information they have learned. To receive full credit for this portion of the Question Building, student responses will need to be:
    • relevant to the class (information came from class readings or discussions)
    • a piece of information (not just a topic)
  2. As a group, students will need to write two questions for the final exam with the correct answer. Questions can be true/false, multiple choice, fill in the blank, or short answer.

Additional instructions for completing this assignment will be given in class.
