 * Test Feedback!**


 * The test was rather long and some mc qs were pretty tricky. The activity theory threw me off because it was worth 20 marks and spanned over three pages?!?! i did not need three pages for that, i got so confused and i felt like i was doing something wrong. Overall the questions weren't unexpected or hard, its just that the case sudy we had to apply it too was weird it was very broad and there really isn't much that I could think of about Facebook because most of the complaints are that the old Facebook was better, so my thought would be to change it back! It was a pretty hard test to write.


 * I agree that three pages for the activity theory was way too much and I also felt as though I was missing something. The multiple choice questions were really specific and fairly tricky, especially the first few. The case study was a bit confusing in the wording, but the concepts were not unexpected. Overall, the test was challenging but fair.


 * Indeed the test was really long, and the first couple multiple choice questions were really tricky! As for the written portion of the exam I wasnt too sure of myself as, I havent been using the new facebook. Just because they redesign the look of the site frequently, once you think you got the hang of 'one' facebook outlook they totally change it to another! I prefer the old facebook to be honest! Overall though the test was pretty fair and I was happy with the overall content of the test!


 * The test was pretty long, but I think we had enough time to complete it. I agree about the activity theory being 3 pages. I felt that I was missing something. As for the case study being about Facebook, I do not use Facebook, nor have I ever so I was pretty clueless about the whole thing. The articles were no help. I just said people prefered the old design and gave no specifics on the redesign itself. What excatly was changed? The before and after pictures provided looked the same to me except one had writing and one had photos/icons on it.


 * I found the test to be okay - really long and somewhat confusing. The multiple choice was alright, although I thought that it would only focus on the tutorial readings. The case study questions, while relevant, were difficult for me. I don't have facebook and have never used facebook...ever. And although I know basic knowledge on Facebook, how could I answer the questions regarding what I would like to see changed? The test was not really what I expected, I just hope that I get a decent mark.


 * I felt that the test was very long but fair. The multiple choice got to me a little, I felt like all the answers were right most of the time! But that's probably just me, they were pretty detailed and I probably didn't study in such great detail enough. I really enjoyed the Case Study I don't know I thought it was entertaining to write about. It is true, the Activity Theory I felt like I was missing something because I didn't write 3 pages worth but I liked how the Case Study questions were predictable and followed through the format of the group project. It was like doing a mini group project in an hour which was a little bit tight on time. Overall I think the test was fair in that for individuals better at knowing down to the detailed facts, multiple choice was for them and those who learn better by applying concepts, the Case Study was for them. Hope everyone did alright and good luck with all your other exams. :] user:elhussei


 * Like some of the earlier posts, I too found test longer than expected. The Activity Analysis question totally me threw me off. When I saw we had 3 pages to answer that question, I thought I missed on some of the readings. Twenty marks for that question was quiet a lot. Plus, I found it difficult to use the facebook concepts to answer the questions. Even some of the multiple choice questions were really tricky. I hope eveyone did better than they expect. Overall, it wasn't a bad course. Learned some management skills which will come in handy for sure.


 * I thought the test was pretty good. Using facebook as the case study was a great idea - something we've all talked about and heard of. I must agree with the others that the activity theory question threw me off. I didn't understand why there was two blank pages - did I have to draw something? The AT triangle? A new FB profile? No clue. Also, multiple choices - thought it would be solely on the tutorials. At the end of it all, you can't leave that test feeling mad - Jones thinks outside of the box and we should appreciate that!!!


 * The test required alot of thinking especially on the case study part. It was longer than I thought, however, I found the topic 'Facebook' very interesting since everyone are familiar with it. I liked how it was divided into parts so that people can clearly know which concepts to use (activity theory, moscow, PACT..) Other than that, the multiple choice was okay, just abit confusing. Overall, I think the test was pretty good although it was little tricky in some way.


 * Overall, the test was not too bad, but i thought the case study was a little too long to answer. I didn't have extra time to proof read or do any editing. But using facebook as the re-design topic was quite interesting and seems like an easier topic to do since almost all of us uses facebook everyday. Some of the questions in the case studies worth so much marks that i wasn't sure of how to get full marks.


 * I found the test fair. It was by no means a walkover and required the student to have a solid knowledge and understanding of key concepts in the course. I was only vaguely familiar with Activity Theory so I cringed when I saw the heavy weighting. Facebook - I couldn;t think of many changes that haven't been done already, i.e. in an earlier version of Facebook. MC was tricky at first, easy at the end. Decent test for sure.


 * Again, agree test was long. Multiple choice was very detailed especially the last one with a quote. Definitely requires knowledge of key concepts of the course and attentiveness in the lectures. The case study was interesting because the majority of the class is familiar with Facebook. However, I felt the familiarity of the topic kind of made it hard to avoid writing casually. I had to remind myself to keep applying concepts to my arguments. Same as the comments above did not use up three pages for activity chart!
