AP+Test+Corrections

TEST CORRECTIONS (in effect for the First Semester only)
Under this arrangement, you can earn back one point for each answer that was incorrect on multiple choice questions. __Retype the question__ and then **explain why another answer is correct**. You should __also list but not comment on the other incorrect choices__ that you did not use. (See the exemplars below.) Please put the correct answer in **BOLD** font. (Refer to the exemplars listed at the end.)

__To receive credit, you must cite the page in your Human Behavior textbook where you found the **correct** answer or identify the handout or class notes you used__. While there are a few exceptional cases where this is not possible, in most cases you should be able to find a specific reference in textbooks or class notes. __It is not acceptable to cite online sources such as Wikipedia.__ (My goal is to have you systematically collect, organize and learn a body of knowledge that you can use on the AP exam and thereafter. Wikipedia answers never stick in anyone's head for more than a moment.)

The corrections must be your own work, not a copy of someone else’s answers. (If two sets of revisons are the same, I won’t count either one.) __You must attach your corrections to the original test when you pass them in. You will receive no credit if you do not do this.__ You will receive no credit (even if you argue eloquently) for yet another incorrect choice.

Unless otherwise specified, your t__est corrections must be passed in no later than two class periods after you received the test results__. Do not wait until the end of the quarter and try to pass them all in at once. They will not count at that point. This test corrections __policy will only be in effect for the first semester__ because some students eventually spend more time doing test corrections than they do studying for tests in the first place. It becomes a self-defeating cycle that sometimes lowers the AP test scores of those who get caught up in it.

Requirements/expectations:

 * ===Write out an explanation of the correct answer. This should include __elaboration__- added detail to show thorough knowledge on the topic (see examples below) ===
 * ===Cite the textbook page number(s) or class notes as references for where the correct information was found. While there are a few exceptional cases where this is not possible, in most cases you should be able to find a specific reference in your textbook or class notes. ===
 * ===Do not cite sources like Wikipedia, World Book, or your favorite random website. The point is to use your textbook and class notes to see how you could have read/studied more effectively. ===

14. In his Essay Concerning Human Understanding, John Locke claimed that =====

=
ANSWER: c) human development is determined by education and society =====

=
Locke believed that humans are born as a blank slate (tabula rasa) and that we are shaped by our experiences like education and social interactions. So Locke is known as an empiricist because he meant we become who we are based on our sensory experiences. This idea also connects to Locke's political ideas because he said we are all born equal (blank slate) but inequality develops because we have different experiences. This inequality will lead to conflict which might jeopardize our natural rights, so we need to make a government whose purpose is to protect out natural rights. (Text 600, Enlightenment Philosophe's Packet 282-283) =====

====42. Which of the following was NOT a goal of the Catholic Reformation?==== a. reform of abuses within the Catholic Church b. confirmation of the Church's basic dogma c. limiting the spread of Protestantism d. suppression of heresy e. conversion of the population of southern Europe CORRECT

The vast majority of the people of southern Europe (i.e. Italy) had remained loyal Catholics and, thus, the Church did not need to reconvert them. New orders like the Jesuits did work to reconvert Protestants in Europe but focused on Germany and Eastern Europe, where they were very successful. The Catholic Reformation did focus on reforming abuses and confirming their basic dogma. This was done most clearly through decisions made at the Council of Trent, such as banning the sale of indulgences and reaffirming the seven sacraments. They worked to attempted to limit the spread of Protestantism through things like the //Index of Prohibited Books// and the missionary work of Jesuits. The Roman Inquisition, although it was relatively ineffective outside of Italy, clearly showed the goal of suppressing heresy. (Textbook 467-469 and class notes on the Catholic Reformation 9/20)
