Study Guides

When answering the study guides, be sure you type in your BCC email address using the following format: userid@mail.broward.edu. If you don't include the mail, I cannot return your graded study guide to you. Be sure you spell "broward" and "edu" correctly. It is also case sensitive.

Also include your actual name as it is on the roll. Otherwise, I will not be able to give you credit for your work if you only use your email address.


This study guide is offered to provide you with an idea as to what I consider important in this course. Remember, it is a guide and is not meant to be all encompassing for the course. Concentrate on the "objectives" of the guide titled "What You Need to Know." These are fairly broadly worded, but I take my test questions from these objectives. I suggest you do the "Terms to Know", "People to Know" and "Genera to Know" sections as we cover the topic in class. The same for "What you Need to Know." You may make corrections at any time on the fill-in-the-blanks or multiple choice, as long as you don't click on the "SUBMIT" button.
