Important terms and exam questions to study for Human Development (HD),
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (AB_1140)

These include all the 3 partial exam materials of the Human Development course. I have
indicated where the parts end, so you know exactly where to study for exam 1, exam 2 and
exam 3. Or you can study everything which is in this document for the resit.
Study these well, and you will be guaranteed to pass your exam! It is a lot, but I got an 8 by
learning just these things.
