Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The unit objectives provide details regarding what information the instructor expects the student to know. Exam questions are often framed from these detailed unit objectives. The course objectives state the overall outcomes of the course and are not particularly useful as study aids. The bibliography simply lists the resources used by the instructor in course preparation. Course policies do not delineate topics for study.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The course outline contains details, such as class objectives, whereas the syllabus provides only an overview. The other options are false statements.
