31/33

Missed:
Question #14 -
The Puritans:
B. stressed the sinfulness of all humanity

Question #27 -
Free markets typically secure more economic prosperity than government’s centralized planning because:
A. the price system utilizes more local knowledge of means and ends


Both were poor questions...

30/33. I actually got #27 (missed #14 and #15), but I got #31 wrong and I think it's a poor question.

Question 31-
International trade and specialization most often lead to which of the following?
A. an increase in a nation’s productivity

As far as I knew, there isn't consensus on this. It could be that I didn't understand the question entirely, though. Or that instead of reading "international trade," I read "globalization."

Oh, sure, blame the questions. . . .

We're in the same boat Steven, and we took intro together...hm....maybe the professor should change the course?

Cranky Doc said...

Okay, so when blaming the questions doesn't work, it's blame the professor? I _taught_ the course, and I got them all right, so. . . . .

See. No one should have to take an intro course to major or minor in this subject. I rest my case.

I'm embarrassed by my score but I think I got the important ones right
