Take a look at the pre test that I gave in class on Friday. I put this together with the help of a few people from Muzzy Lane. Since they have an interest in this data they were more than willing to help me. On the back of the questions was a blank map of 1938 Europe that students could label. 1 point per correct country labeled with a max of 15 points. I have graded about 75% of the pre test as of noon EDT. When I finish them and run some stats I will post them. I can tell you the range on the map is 0 has been the low and 15 has been the high. I won’t guess about averages at this point but it is rather disgusting to see a student label Switzerland–Iraq. Guess I have to take some of that blame but GOOD NIGHT. It is no wonder the world thinks we are stupid!
