On our exam next Monday you’ll get four exam questions and a “blue book.” You’ll get one question from each of the four types below.
You pick three and then provide excellent answers.
- 1 question will be a current events question complete with a newspaper or journal article.
- 1 question will be a “big picture” style question (what happens when a candle burns?) that asks you to synthesize various things we’ve discussed.
- 1 question will be a problems based question (similar to the isotopes or chemical balancing problems).
- 1 question will be a DIY comparison question/answer. In other words, you come up with a question that compares/contrasts two or more topics we’ve discussed in some fashion this semester and provide the answer.
Easy, right?
I expect all A’s based on how well you’ve done on our exam reviews this week!

Mr. Harrleson,
I just voted for your Blog! How cool! It is an honor to have your class blog representing SDS Griffins.
I also read your test question format… sounds almost like fun… Is it possible that taking an exam could be both stressful and fun at the same time? I like how you are asking the students to take the content and apply it in a relevant way.
You are facilitating positive learning experineces for your students. Keep up the good work!
