In order to do well on the tests, consider the following methodology:   Read the Course Reading & the Course Notes. Take notes from them.  For each chapter there are Objective Quizzes w/ 30 mult choice & true false questions.  These are found in Moodle.  There is a 60 minute time limit for each quiz.  A good method is to use the search function.  There is also a Final Quiz which is comprehensive, which has 100 objective questions.  The time limit on this Quiz is 2 hours. There are Discussion Forums for each chapter.  You are required to make 2 postings for each.  There are 2 Essay Exams throughout the term.  Essays should strongly reflect info from the Course Notes & from the Readings provided.  General use of the internet is allowed to supplement this material, but usually it is found that an essay response which relies on the internet is incomplete since the Course Material is more comprehensive.  Assignments are due on Wednesday at noon, except for Friday of Week 2 & Tues of Thanksgiving week.  Late assignments are not accepted & earn a zero.  See the Syllabus for more info on all of these course requirements.         Good luck!
