BUS 1
Mini Exam – Chapters 11 – 13
40 Points
Short Answer – Mind your time
Answer four questions. One question from Pool 1, one from Pool 2, and
two from Pool 3. Answer the XC question for extra credit if desired.
Question point count weighted equally.
It is all about business, so make sure to demonstrate / synthesize the bigger picture of business. I am thinking
each answer would be about 250 – 300 words each, depending upon writing style. If you tend to be descriptive
and whatnot, that number could be 350 – 450 words.
Sidebar: Gauge your knowledge level in this way. This exam should take about 90 – 120 minutes to complete.
Students taking much longer may want to work with me to assess / discuss ways to help master this material in
a future conference session.
