1 MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
Method for Doing Multiple Questions
 The answer to each question is within the course material of the unit.
 You are required to answer each question by placing a large X in what you think is the correct answer box.
 Once all questions are answered, you are to self mark by reading the answer sheet. If you have correct, then place a check in the „Correct‟ column. If
you have incorrect, then place the letter (A, B or C) of the correct answer in the „Correct‟ column.
 There is nothing stopping you from just writing down the correct answers but you will not learn as much and may have difficulty on final exam.
