Only answer in the wrovided. Only the answers in the provided space will be graded. . For short answer questions, please be concise. Write legibly. Any illegible writing will result in points taken off. . ‘Questions are on both sides of the exam. Make sure you answer them all Academic integrity: Integrity of scholarship is essential for an academic community. The University expects that both faculty and students. will honor this principle and in so doing protect the validity of University intellectual work. All academic work must be completed by the individual student whom the work is assigned to, without unauthorized help.
