MIS 388

Review Areas for Test 2

Chapters 6, 8, 10 & 11

Following are the areas that I feel are the most important for you to review for the second test. This list is intended as a guide only and should not be taken to be an all-inclusive list of the material that might appear as a test question. You may find that the textbook website has tools that would be helpful in your studying.

DO NOT SIMPLY LOOK THESE TERMS UP IN THE GLOSSARY AT THE END OF THE TEXT. You should read and understand the material in the chapter that covers the term/concept if you wish to do well on the test.

BE SURE TO BRING A SCANTRON FORM 882-ES AND PENCIL WITH YOU TO THE EXAM.
