GEN3030 (HD) Self Formulated Exam Preparation Questions & Answers

Description

GEN3030 has a lot of content packed into each lecture and this can be quite overwhelming. Given that there is not much practice provided leading up to tests / exams in this unit, I created this document of practice questions. These self formulated questions and answers are very useful in ensuring that you understand the finer details of each concept. Organised very clearly with questions followed by detailed answers, this document will help you will ace the exam! These questions / answers include topics from weeks 2 - 12. Completing these questions and having the answers available will allow you to practice as much as you like and provide yourself with more confidence going into the exam. Week 1 was more of an overview of the unit, content and structure with less of a focus on new content. You will therefore find this document starts at "week 2". Please note these notes are from GEN3030 Semester 2, 2018 at Monash University Clayton. There may be slight variations in the current course content, but a lot of the content remains the same. For example, topics covered now may have been covered in different weeks of the semester back in 2018. Please check the topics covered below. This document includes practice material for short answer and extended response sections of the final exam. These questions can also be used to prepare for the mid semester test / quizes and prac reports. Each question is also accompanied by a reference of which week / topics the question relates to! In this way, you will be able to identify problem areas and subsequently search in your lecture notes / textbook.
