Exams: Each exam will consist of 50 multiple choice items to be answered on a computer scan sheet. It is your responsibility to bring sufficient #2 pencils and erasers. Test items will come from class notes, reading assignments, discussion of current events, visiting speakers, and from basic concepts from field trips. A review will be posted on Blackboard before each exam. It will include all numerical facts you are expected to learn. There is no penalty for guessing. It may be helpful to read test-taking strategies. The exams must be taken at the assigned time.
