In Class
- Membean Quiz
- Exam Review
NOTE: I have provided a copy of the Semester Exam Review for any student who thinks they may have to take the Exam. Exam exemptions will be finalized after the Membean scores and Learning Ladder grades have been put in, so at this time, no one is officially “exempt.”
If you choose not to take an Exam Review today, you can work on exam reviews or work for other classes. I will have Exam Reviews available when I return if someone who does not take one finds out they have to take the Exam.
