Study Terms (Spring 2011)

World History Since 1500
Study Guide
Spring 2011

The tests will be multiple choice – possibly with some true/false, etc., for fun – based on the textbook, lectures, and readings. This list of important terms is intended to help you focus your reading and study. Scantrons will not be used.

As part of the review for each test, you will produce 5 multiple choice questions for each chapter, based on the study terms. I may use those questions on the test. The questions are due by email, midnight before the review date for each test.
