In-Person Classes: remember that you cannot use your notes, textbook, or any other
materials during the exam, so plan and study accordingly! Be sure to bring your
scantron form 886-E and a number 2 pencil! Your completed study guide can be turned
in for extra credit on the day of the test (can be typed or handwritten pages, index cards,
or even an online/app format but must be given or shown to me in-person). You can
receive up to five points depending on the comprehensiveness of completion.

Online Classes: remember that the exam is open notes and open book but if you don’t
study as you would for a traditional exam, you will run out of time!
