Mid-Term Exam Reflection

For me to be a better test taker for the next Exam, I will study harder and read the questions before I answer the question instead of skipping around, from question to question. I think thats how I get confused. I scored 16 out of 25 not a very good score. Also I need to show up more to class to understand the work.

                               The Meat Inspection Act of 1906 got started because Theodore Roosevelt was curious about Upton Sinclairs socialist attitute and conclusions about what was happening in the meat packing industries. Because people started to get sick,So he sent two men -a labor commissioner named Charles P. Niell, and a social worker named James Bronson Reynolds- to Chicago for surprise visits to the meat packing industries.
