EXAMINATIONS: This course is comprised of a mid-term exam and a final exam. The mid-term exam must be taken by the last day of week five (5). The final exam must be taken by the last day of week ten (10).

Both the mid-term and final are programmed and are located in the classroom for this course. They are both open book and objective type exams.

To access, you will come into the classroom, click on "Exams", and click on the exam you are going to take. You will need your User I.D. and Password to access the exam. Once again, upon access you will have 36 hours to submit your answers. The program provides me with the exact date and time that you accessed the exam, as well as the exact date and time that you submitted 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. Shortly thereafter, you will receive the exam in your e-mail box with your computed score. You will also know what questions, if any, that you missed, as well as the corresponding correct answer for each missed question.
