of the material in this textbook.
As you read the texts, you may certainly want to underline or

After you have completed the textbook, and are ready to take your
final examination, please notify me and request access
to the final exam. Please remember that your final exam must be
completed by the end of the tenth week. No exceptions.
There are two examinations for this course, a mid-term exam and
a final exam. The mid-term exam covers the material in the book,

Both examinations are programmed and are located in the classroom

you access it from the classroom. To access the exams, you must
send me an email and request to have access to the exam. I will
then program your access in. You will receive an email back from
me telling you that you are now authorized to go ahead and access
your exam. To access, you will come into the classroom, click
on testing, and click on the exam you are taking. You will need
your User ID and PASS WORD to access the exam. The exam will appear
on your screen. Once you access the exam, you have 72 hours to
submit your answers. The program provides me the date and exact
time that you accessed the exam. The program also notifies me
of the exact date and time that you submit your answers. Thus,
the program is timing you. When you are ready, go back into the
classroom and click in your responses and then click submit. In
a short time following you will receive the exam in your email
box with your computed score. You will also know what questions,
if any, that you missed, and what the correct answer is. I too
receive the copy of your exam and your score.
