Stepper Motor Question

Hi all,
Say I have a stepper motor whose ratings say that it rotates
1.8deg/step.
Does that mean 1.8 degs as in Full Step mode or as in Half Step Mode?
I mean: Will it rotate at 3.6 deg/step in Full-step mode or will it
rotate at 0.9deg/step in Half-Step Mode?


Another question:
I know that in order to get a stepper motor rotating u need to give it
a sequence of pulses as input. Say I just connect one phase to a
battery(that is, only one pulse). Will it just rotate by one step and
stop?



Thanx,
