Module 1 Quiz

Study Guide Resource

PSYCH 315

This study guide is just a resource with the general information used from the posted modules. I pulled all
information straight from the powerpoints and posted module readings. I try to keep the quizzes short and
less challenging as possible.
Quizzes are 10 questions and worth 1 point each. You are allowed to use your notes, the powerpoints,
module readings, and video resources. The use of outside sources is prohibited. I suggest carefully
reviewing the chapter and making sure you are able to understand the concepts associated with the course
material. Scoping out the information is different than understanding the information.
Remember this study guide is a source of information to help you understand the information learned in
the modules and posted course material.
ALL Quizzes will open up at 12:00 PM. The Quizzes will then close at 11:59 PM THAT day. This means
that you have the entire day to complete the quiz. This also allows you to review the information that you
learned. Study guides open early to your advantage to study ahead of time.

Best of luck on the Module. 1 Quiz!
