Quizzes Without Consequences
(See related pages)

MULTIPLE CHOICE More than one answer may be correct for each multiple choice question. Your instructor may choose only one-answer multiple choice questions for the actual exams, but the multiple answer format provides excellent preparation for the tests with consequences. This format eliminates much of the guesswork and requires precise knowledge. There's no process of elimination in which answers can be ignored (i.e., if the correct answer is a, answers b, c, and d don't need to be read at all). You receive credit for every correct answer and you get dinged for every incorrect answer.

 

TRUE/FALSE This portion of the Quizzes Without Consequences follows a standard format. Your only choices are True or False. Nevertheless, for each answer, especially the false ones, formulate in your mind an explanation for each answer chosen.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Consult the appropriate chapter in the text for explanations of the answers to these quiz questions.
