Planning Methods—Supplemental Exam #2 INSTRUCTIONS

Â

All questions are short-answer questions, meaning they should be answered using

complete sentences in the form of a well-constructed paragraph(s). Bullet-points

are NOT acceptable answers. DO NOT cut-and-paste directly from the PowerPoint

slides. Formulate your answers using your own words.

As per the syllabus, “exams are intended to reflect your own individual

comprehension of the main points and key concepts from the course.” Your answers

on this exam must therefore reflect your individual work, not that of a “group”

effort.
