Final exam

The final exam, scheduled during Class 16, is structured to assess your knowledge on the materials in your textbook. It will be composed of approximately 50 objective questions, including true-false, multiple choice, and matching, and 5 open-ended questions. To study for the test, you may want to team up with a "study buddy" or team to help quiz one another. During the text, you may bring in and use a job aid to help you answer questions. The size of the job aid will be limited to one side of a 3 x 5 index card.
