Examination questions

Forensic science laboratories are generally divided into separate specialty areas. These typically include forensic toxicology, soHd-dose dmg testing, forensic serology, trace evidence analysis, firearms and tool mark examination, questioned documents examination, and latent fingerprint examination. Laboratories principally employ chemists, biochemists, and biologists at various degree levels. In some specialty areas, eg, firearms examination, questioned... 

By the same token, the inclusion of diagrams could negatively affect students interpretation. Crisp and Sweiry (2006) studied students performance in examination questions. They found that on some occasions the inclusion of a diagram supplemented the verbal information provided in the examination questions whilst on other occasions the use of different diagrams associated with the same verbal questions did not significantly affect students performance. However, when students were provided with Fig. 3.5 and asked for the products of the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium carbonate, which is an ingredient of toothpaste, 9% of students gave answers such as shampoo and soap .

In many ways these problems are more taxing and certainly longer than those in Volume 4, which gives the solutions to problems in Volume 1, and yet they have considerable merit in that they are concerned with real fluids and, more importantly, with industrial equipment and conditions. For this reason we hope that our efforts will be of interest to the professional engineer in industry as well as to the student, who must surely take some delight in the number of tutorial and examination questions which are attempted here. 

Part A 40 minutes calculator allowed (no qwerty keyboards). Any programmable or graphing calculator may be used and you will not be required to erase the calculator memories before or after the examination. Questions require mathematical computations. It is essential that you show all steps in solving mathematical problems since partial credit is awarded in each problem for showing how the answer was obtained.

This section contains a selection of typical examination questions, many of them based on real ones used at Nottingham, together with the answers. However, it is not so much the answers themselves that are important, but developing the skills to answer them. We wish to show that, in many questions, the information given can actually direct us toward the answer. Thus, emphasis has been placed on what to look for in the question, how to approach the problem, and how to develop the answer in a logical manner. We are not looking at questions that ask for essay-style answers, and thus require a lot of memorized material, but are concerned predominantly with those questions that start out Propose a mechanism for. .. or Explain the following observations. .. ...

Be quite clear you fully understand the meanings of the terms discuss , evaluate , illustrate , and outline , which are frequently used in examination questions. You must appreciate the subtle differences, and provide the appropriate level of detail to answer the question effectively. 

These problems are typical examination questions, though perhaps longer than most, and have been graded as level 1 or level 2. Based on a 2-year period of study to cover most of the content of this book, level-1 questions might be answered after year-1 studies, whereas the level-2 questions are more appropriate for year-2 studies.

Number of Preparations. A certain number of the preparations will be designated each term as required, which means that they will be discussed in detail in the class room and that detailed knowledge of them will be assumed when examination questions are made out. Besides the required preparations, students will be able to make a number of others of their own selection — this selection of course being subject to the instructor s approval.

These extended case studies complement the basic information presented in Chapters 1 to 40. They reinforce basic principles of pharmacology, such as the role of patient factors in empiric antimicrobial therapy Most of the cases provide clinical information obtained from a single patient some cases describe a composite of typical features derived from several patients. These cases illustrate simple pharmacologic principles, such as consideration of kidney function in drug dosing—concepts useful in answering examination questions, and in the clinics. 

The ceramic samples selected for discussion in this chapter are those of Mexican production. As reported by Maggetti et al. (5), the Mexican majolica production includes both calcareous and noncalcareous paste compositions. This chapter will focus on the calcareous Mexican majolica. The following ware types were selected to examine questions of the assignation... 

This anecdote was adapted from Alexander Calandra s article entitled Angels on a Pin [2], which was an excerpt from his 1969 book. The Teaching of Elementary Science and Mathematics. Mr. Calandra was asked by another instructor to help referee die disputed grading on an examination question. The physics teacher believed his student deserved a zero for his answer. The student argued he should receive a perfect grade, but the student felt the school was not interested in practical approaches to problems. Previously, the instructor and student agreed that an impartial arbiter should review the examination question and they chose Mr. Calandra. The arbitrator went to his colleague s office and read the test.
