2 points each on the multiple, and 20 each on the essay.
Like I said earlier, the pre-made flash cards from posta contained 100% of the information. Have a strong grasp of those and then you are asked to write 2-3 paragraphs explaining the answers.
My questions may be different then the ones you received, however I would say that the multiple choice was harder than I thought because there were a couple that "could" be, much more than typical multiple choice tests.
If you know the material on the flash cards (group mapping, blue ocean, offensive strategies, VRIN - SWOT, and how to implement and why etc), you will nail the essay questions.
When I reviewed the flash cards right after taking the midterm I had a few "dangit, I knew that and could have explained it better" moments. I feel that because I was vague in my mastery of some of terminology I will be scored down deservedly so. Yet, I think I did a "decent" job of bs'ing my way through the concepts that I will get a passing/decent score.
With your preparation, I'm sure you will be fine. Like I said, I did almost no studying and just winged it and feel ok.
Okay, I just completed the rescheduled exam. There were a number of confusing multiple choice questions like you said... I ended up having to make a best guess between some choices that seemed like they were equally valid options. For the essay questions, I feel like I did pretty well, though I ended up using almost the entire two hours... I had 2 minutes left when I was double-checking my work on the 4th essay. Luckily I was able to recall the important bits about how to implement the analysis strategies that they asked for. I'm looking forward to seeing my final score. I wonder how long that will take to post?
I found it odd that other than the "submit" button to end the second essay section, there wasn't a "done" button or something to finalize the exam. Plus once the exam was complete, there was no way to exit other than the "link" button that took me back to the course page or closing the page. My midterm exam area now shows "[Restricted] Not available unless: The activity Midterm Exam is incomplete", so I assume that means that it's complete since it is not available. Kind of backwards wording. Hopefully I'm not misinterpreting that.
Glad that it's done either way. I've determined that I don't like essay questions, particularly when I can't use a real editor or word processor and under a time limit.
Edit: Looks like the scores for the multiple choice section are available if you go to the grades section, I got 12 points so far (not including essays) which suggests that I got 6 of the 10 questions correct. That is probably the questions that I knew the answers to and the other 4 were ones I guessed on... incorrectly it appears.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
