WEDNESDAY 

FOCUS:  Today we will complete the mid-term exam for the course. This assessment is worth 15% of the course grade. It will consist of 60 multiple-choice questions, 5 sub-region identifications using the map of France, 5 short answer questions about the French label and a tasting of 2 wines. Students often get nervous about the tasting, but please remember the key to the tasting is taking the quality notes just like you practiced in class since week 2. As with any test it is important to study. I’ll provide a sketch to assist you. I might suggest using quizlet or creating study groups to enhance your learning. 

Please complete for Wednesdays class: 

READING: no reading, just study



STUDY POINTS:

The following items represent the topics of the questions on the mid-term. I suggest you create an outline of information supporting them from your notes, reading, lecture and tastings. Some students find greatest success by studying the more recent material first working to the least recent just before the exam. This sometimes helps to retain the oldest information just before you need it on the test.
