Test
This test is on all of the reading materials
assigned in the reading section for lesson one. You may only take this test
once, so do it as best you can the first time. This is an open book test, so you
should do very well, assuming you put in the effort.
It is advisable to
take the test off-line on the printed copy of the tests provided to you at the
start of the course. After you complete the test on the
printed copy, you can then enter your answers on the online form and submit the
test. Then you will have a copy of the test with your answers. Later when I
email you a list of the questions you answered wrong, you can find the correct
answers and change them on your personal printed copy of the test. This
printed copy of the test with all the correct answers will be a valuable study
guide for the final exam.
Be sure and check to see if you answered
all the questions before you hit the submit button.
