Today we took our first history exam. 49 questions. This was the first test I was actually excited about taking. I felt like I knew the information well and I was prepared for it. The night before, I read over my notes and read the 18 pages of lesson one over and over. I even ended up falling asleep on the lesson pages as I kept trying to soak every bit of information into my brain until I could no longer peel my eyelids open.
This was a fun lesson. I felt like I knew more insight into America's history instead of the basic Columbus came over to America and the pilgrims landed on Plymouth rock type of spiel that most history teachers like to give. The professor made the lessons fun and entertaining and information sticks easier in my head that way.
A few classmates printed off the study guide. I didn't even think about doing that. One student handed me her copy so I could quickly go over it and we went over some questions together. Looking over the questions from the study guide I kept thinking, Oh yea! I know this stuff. Overall I feel like I did a good job. It was all multiple choice. I was surprised by that. I was thinking he would of added in a few essay questions to get our opinion on certain situations but I guess not. I was also preparing myself to see the question, "what is the title of one of the songs we watch almost daily on youtube?" or "who sings No No Keshagesh". I made sure I knew the answer but it was not on the exam. There were a few questions where I had to pause and think about it because I couldn't recall the answer. I tried to make the best educated guess as I could by process of elimination. I am looking forward to the results.
