Topics
◊ The full session is devoted to the exam.
Thoughts—read before class, revisit for tests
Arrive on time! The initial porion of the exam is multiple choice on timed powerpoint slides; you will not get a chance later to see the slides again.
Required—to be completed for today's session
✓ You need to contact me ahead of the exam if for some reasons you think you will not be able to take the test on this day. I usually do not give makeup exams but if I do writing ahead of time is one of the things you can do to improve your chances of have a makeup opportunity. The subject line keyword must be "gradeissue".
Multimedia notes
❖ Obviously there is no new multimedia presented on this day. However, the multiple choice questions are projected so remember to bring your contacts, glasses or whatever. If you have poor vision and need to be place in the front of the room, email me. I use a seating chart so I will need to know ahead of time. The subject line keyword must be "gradeissue".
