Bonus points opportunity before Exam 1 next Monday.

Exam 1 is coming up, Monday, Sept. 21, as published in class materials on first day of classes.

To help you study, I am activating a bonus points discussion area, "BONUS: Create a good multiple choice question for Exam 1, Sept. 21 (Monday)," in Webcourses. If it is good enough to use on the exam, I will award you two bonus points, so make it a good one.

Here are the methods:

1. Write a good multiple choice question on a topic from chapters 2-4. Be creative.
2. Use an asterisk * to indicate which option, A, B, C, D or E is correct.
3. Include a chapter and page number where a classmate can study up and find the answer.
4. You can also refer to the problem solving manual if it is where you got inspired.

I will read and comment -- even tell you to go back to the drawing board if necessary. Keepers will be on the exam and get you 2 bonus points. I might keep one question, might keep a handful.

You won't know which are the keepers, though, so study all of the questions. This will also help you get your mind up to speed and sharp and there will be at least one question on the exam that you will know COLD.

In the Discussion area there is an example question I created, and it will give you an idea of how to type in your question.
