Midterm & Moving Foward

I must say that I was a little disappointed in myself after the midterm... I didn't do horribly- horrible BUT I could of done better... First of all, I can kick myself for going back and changing THREE of my answers (That I had Correct and then ended up getting Wrong...Errr!!) But, I would of never been in that predicament if I would of knew the material a better.  I think I got overwhelmed with the thought of being tested over 11 chapters and bounced around so much I missed important concepts.  So, I have a new plan... Read and Do ALL outlines Ahead of Time.... And that is exactly what I did this weekend.... I also had the Knowledge Check answers printed out (from the CD) for Ch 23, so as I read and tried to answer them myself I could check to see if I was getting it right... Hopefully this new plan of attack will land me an "A" on the final exam :)! 
Question... Does anyone know where to find the Critical Thinking answers (Not sure even if they are out there)?? I haven't seen them on the CD and some of them are really really good questions!! 
Hope everyone had a superb weekend!! see you in class in the A.M.!!!

Oh, just because we pulled it off this weekend ...GO NOLES!!!!!! ;-)

  1. I haven't been able to find the critical thinking answers either...I think we are just supposed to use them for discussion type questions, but I'm not sure. I think reading and outlining ahead of time will definitely help me next time too and at least will lead to less stress those few days before the test:-)

  3. Jackie! Thank you for your uplifting words of encouragement! I think so just what you are doing and you will get an "A" for sure!
    Also, I kind of got the idea that there weren't answers for the critical thinking questions....because they are so subjective. i think i read in the book that, as Carrie said, they are for discussion, and if you want to verify your answers ask your instructor. I wish they did provide more direct answers...that would be helpful...even if there is leeway in what the answer is specifically...
