Tests, Fall 2009

The following tests are given in this course:

The tests are multiple choice.You need a scantron form no. 16485. Only the textbook may be used during tests, provided it contains no handwritten notes. Students must have a picture ID in tests. No textbooks during the pass/fail!

You are responsible to inform the instructor of any conflicts as soon as possible so that a resolution can be found in time.


Missed tests will normally count as zero. If you absolutely have to miss a test, you need to (1) inform the instructor at the earliest time possible, (2) provide documentation why it is impossible for you to take the test. Do not expect any leniency regarding missed tests!
The second test contains 33 multiple choice questions:

A good way to prepare for the test would be to:

  1. Review the presentations that were in class. Make sure you understand everything in there.
  2. Review the quiz questions. Take time to understand the reason why each of the wrong answers are wrong and why the right answers are correct.
  3. Review the reading assignments.
  4. When you feel you are missing something use the textbook to find the answer. Use the index in the textbook.
  5. If you can't answer something, call or see the instructor and ask your question.
