Final Exam in Google Classroom

Final Exam

Here is your final exam. 


The exam consists of 52 multiple choice questions and 3 short answer questions. 


You will have the remainder of the class time to finish the exam. Your exam must be turned in by the end of the testing block. Late submissions will lose points. I will provide regular time updates. 


During the exam time, you must remain logged into Zoom with your camera ON and your face visible in the camera. No, not your ceiling or your hair line, your face. 


Microphones and public chat will be disabled the entire time you are taking the exam. If you have a question, you are encouraged to use the private chat feature. I might be able to help. 


If you experience any technology difficulties that cause you to loose progress in your exam, you should communicate this with me as soon as you are able so we can plan for you to finish your exam in a way that will not interfere with your finals in other classes. Failure to communicate technology problems in a timely manner could cause you to receive a zero on the final. There is not much time available for make-up exams, so you must communicate any technology issues promptly. 


If you finish your exam early, you must remain logged into Zoom, but you can use the remaining time to study for your other finals or do work for other classes. 


Good luck!
