Apparently I wasn't asleep all the time in class. But I did miss most of the economic questions. I never was good at that stuff.
Title: How well do you know your civics? Post by: pmcalk on September 22, 2007, 03:26:32 pm I missed most of the economic questions, too. But I was suprised to earn a 90 overall. I should admit, though, that I am very good at guessing.
Title: How well do you know your civics? Post by: RecycleMichael on September 22, 2007, 04:34:41 pm I only scored a 77. I used to be smart.
Where were the questions about football and SpongeBob SquarePants? Title: How well do you know your civics? Post by: brunoflipper on September 23, 2007, 09:18:56 am (http://climate.uvic.ca/people/ewiebe/car/wagovan.jpeg)
that's an 85 civic wagon... what do i win? Title: How well do you know your civics? Post by: USRufnex on September 23, 2007, 06:33:45 pm Guess that makes me a 78 country squire... which is a high C (pretty good for an opera singer)... but I'm convinced it's a solid B when grading on a curve...

I missed the founding of Jamestown. The republik (which was a DUH when I looked back over them), when the federalist papers were written, one of the philosopher questions - get normal names people, and the just-war theory (which I had never heard of). On the plus side, we are all way smarter than a HARVARD or other Ivy seniors: http://www.americancivicliteracy.org/report/tables.html |
