 Grades Posted.  Break Begins! Congratulations Grads! "Show me the MONEY!"  ; ) 
 
In order to do well on the tests, consider the following methodology:   Read the Course Readings & the Course Notes. Take notes from them.  There are four Objective Quizzes w/ 50 mult choice & true false questions.  These are found in Moodle.  There is a 75 minute time limit for each quiz, they are open only during class time.  A good method is to use the search function.  Things to know:  Anything discussed in lecture may be on the test.  All the terms from all chapters & lectures.  Concepts from the chapters & lectures.  Theorists & which concepts they hold.  The text is self-explanatory. Get a good night's sleep before the examine.  Late assignments are not accepted, but one drop grade is given.  See the Syllabus for more info on all of these requirements.  Good luck!
