Title: The worst study guides you really dislike.
Post by: Commander Fuckass on October 04, 2011, 08:29:48 AM
My History I and History II study  guides are such a pain, and since I have the same professor for the classes there is no multiple choice tests.

Just essay writting

Example:
QuoteSTUDY GUIDE FOR THE FIRST EXAM
Part I: Short Essay (60%)
In an essay discuss the historical significance of each of terms
below. In the exam, there will be six terms taken from the list
below. Each student will discuss three of the six terms.
  Ur               Ziggurat        Ma’at       Peloponnesian War
Henotheism       Marathon        Lugal       Delian League
Sargon of Akkad  Phoenicia       Cleisthenes Rig-Veda
  Cyrus            Chou            Hapiru      Phalanx
Hittites         Nebuchadnezzar  Helots      Solon
Shang            Harappa         Olmec       Aryan
Alexander        Ptolemy         Bactria     Philip of Macedon
Part II: Essay (40%)
In an essay answer one of the following questions. The questions
below will appear on the exam. Students can prepare a brief
outline for this essay and consult it during the exam. An outline
is neither a collection of notes nor an already completed essay.
On the outline students can include their thesis, a brief
description of each of their supporting arguments, and a list of
facts as evidence. The instructor will inspect all outlines just
before the exam to make sure that they all meet these guidelines.
1. Compare the first complex societies of Egypt, Mesopotamia,
China, India, and Mesoamerica. How were they similar? How were
they different?
2. The Assyrians, Persians and Athenians all created empires by
the use of military power. Compare their methods of overpowering
their enemies and keeping their subjects in line. What political
and cultural institutions and policies strengthened the military might of these empires?

looks like pretty standard material for a 100 level course
