Blog 2- First Test

The test today went really well. I studied a lot since Dreier made us freak out so much by saying everyone was going to fail. I went through all of the multiple choice questions in the book and checked my answer with a key I found online to make sure I was understanding everything. This proved to be very helpful because several of the questions on the test were taken directly from those book questions. I know know that I should study them for every test since knowing the answers saved me a lot of time on the test. At the end of the multiple choice test, there were two questions I circled because I was not overly confident in my answers. I ended up getting 2 wrong, but I am really happy with that score considering the harsh warnings. I was most worried for the free response question, however I think I did okay. I feel as though I definitely wrote too much, but I am confident that I had a pretty solid understanding on all of the topics asked about (operational definitions, ethics, validity, etc.) I am concerned that I did not provide good examples, though. I was too scared to stray away from the given topic (since it was already too long.) Overall, I am very satisfied with the outcome of the test (so far) and hope that I can keep my grade up.
