COMPLETING CHARTS

Complete-the-chart questions require an understanding of all or a major part of a lecture (Chart questions will not be asked about conversations.)

The chart consists of a grid There are actually several types of grids One type lists steps in a process You have to decide if the steps in the grid are actually given

in the lecture and then mark each step “Yes” or “No.” Another type of grid lists spe- cific characteristics You have to decide if these characteristics are associated with a certain idea or some general concept, and indicate whether this information was included in the lecture by placing check marks in the appropriate boxes

Your notes can be very helpful when you answer complete-the-chart questions

During the lecture, listen for the speaker to mention steps in a process or charac- teristics related to a topic, and then write them down

Py

eu

Tae

Analyze the business situation and exhibits

Role-play

Run a computer simulation

Give a presentation and write a report

As you can see from the sample notes, the professor did mention the need to analyze the business problem and the data provided in the exhibits You should therefore check Yes for the first step The professor said that “solving the problem usually involves role-playing,” so you should also click on Yes for the second step in the list The professor said that some business classes involve computer simula- tions, but he was not talking about classes based on case study, so you should click

on No for the third step The professor said that a group grade was given for an oral presentation and a written report, so the fourth step should be marked Yes There

is no mention in the discussion that visiting a real business and attending a meet- ing was part of the case study process, so you should click No for the fifth step
