Final Exam

Here is some information about the final exam:

1. It is closed book (CLOSED MODE). You mat not have any written or printed materials with you while taking the examination nor may you consult any written or printed materials before turning in all portions of the examination.

2. You must write your answers to the essay questions on a computer with the current version of Exam 4 already loaded on the computer. Consult with Vickie in the Dean's Office if you have any questions about computer procedures.

3. The exam consists of three essay questions and 25 multiple-choice questions.

4. There are approximate word limits for each essay question. Be sure to observe these word limits. The limits are approximate to enable you to finish a sentence or two. Although you may exceed the approximate word limit by a few words, if you go beyond a few words it will not help your grade and it could adversely affect your grade. If the approximate word limit is 750 words, 765 is okay; 800 is not okay. So again, be sure to observe the approximate word limits for each essay question.
