The Exam:
It will consist of 100 objective questions, that is, multiple choice/matching (20 of these I have no
control over – they are in common with all world history teachers)
If your glossary is complete, the exam will be graded on a scale of 75
If your glossary is missing 1-5 words and/or definitions, the exam will be graded on a scale
of 80
If your glossary is missing 6 – 10 words and/or definitions, the exam will be graded on a scale of 90
If your glossary is missing more than 10 words and/definitions, the exam will be graded on a scale
of 100
The exam is worth 25% of your semester grade
There will also be a short written response for extra points
You will be allowed to use:
Your glossary
Your cheat sheet
On exam day make sure you bring the following to class:
Your glossary, your cheat sheet (if you worked on one)
A number 2 pencil (Do not expect me to provide you with one!!!!)
One piece of paper
How your semester grade will be figured:
Best six week grade = x3
Middle six week grade = x2
Worst six week grade = x1
Final Exam = x2
8
As you can see, it will greatly benefit you to have worked hard all semester on your glossary, to be sure to
bring it on exam day, and to come prepared with your materials so that you can do your best.
