EXAM QUESTIONS

The test bank is available on line. These questions are provided as a convenience to students who want to know what sorts of questions I ask. Please note:


FIELD TRIP

It is unfortunately necessary to verify reasons for missing the field trip. Students who miss the trip will be given a form to fill out. Verification consists of:

Missing the trip because of showing up at the wrong time or place: No credit or makeup. It is your responsibility to put this event on your calendar.

Field trips leave from the Green Parking lot at 8:00 on the scheduled date and return about 4:15 P.M.
