One of my central pedagogical goals in teaching Geographies of Migration and Mobility each spring is to leave my students with a strong foundational understanding of the immigration system. One way I test that knowledge is through a midterm exam that includes roughly 20 questions as well as some short answer questions. It is not designed to push them to their limits, but rather to test their basic technical competence.
I got a 90% I would have gotten 95% if I hadn't answered the question about what he should do when he crossed the border looking for asylum... I know he should go to the Border Patrol, but that's more than likely going to get you sent back to Mexico. So, I said he should get on the bus and head straight to Canada. It's gotta be easier there! Thanks for the quiz. (Glad I hadn't forgotten what I learned this past year in VIISTA.)
I got a 95%. I did some overthinking on the "borderscapes" question. I enjoyed taking it. Thanks!
Nice work!! And thanks for sharing. 🙏
