Week of February 11-16, 2008; Exact Time and Date Options to be announced, based on class discussion and polling

Chapters 1- 4 will be covered on this exam. Everyone will take an exam via the computer. A practice exam will be available, which will be based upon a random selection of questions from a huge database of questions. The format of the real exam will be exactly the same. The current vision for this exam is that several sessions will be held in the White Hall Computer Labs to offer flexibility in test taking to allow everyone to get the highest possible score. Only one attempt will be allowed on the real exam. A help session to answer any of your questions will be held sometime during the week in order to answer questions that students may have about the material. An internet reservation system is envisioned, if I am able to get the computer programming accomplished to allow everyone to know in advance when they may take the test.

Make-up examinations
Make-up exams which are required by schedule conflicts, or for any other reason, may be rescheduled prior to the regularly scheduled exam by mutual consent of the student and the instructor. All exams that must be made up after the regularly scheduled exam will be done as an oral make-up exam at a time mutually agreeable to both the student and the instructor.
