After researching U.S. military presence for the last year, how well do you know the topic? Students have undoubtedly learned a great deal during the course of the season, but how much do they actually know about U.S. military presence in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the rest of the topic countries? I thought it would be interesting to create a quiz and see where students stood. While some of the answers are more trivial than essential, the resulting quiz hopefully provides a good baseline for assessing how much you learned and how much you retained while researching the topic.
Two caveats:
-
This quiz is divided into two parts, one about Afghanistan and the other about the other five topic countries. Since our team read an Afghanistan affirmative for the vast majority of the season, this was the area they were most familiar with.
-
All of the answers are Googleable. I put together an answer key but this is more geared toward self-assessment than it is something to be formally graded.
So, how much do you know about the topic? Find out below the fold.
