The Midterm Exam Approaches.....

Next week is the time for the midterm exam in our class.  You will access the exam from the main page for the course and once accessed, you will have 2.5 hours to complete the exam.  The exam will include 3 questions and should take about 1.5 hours (30 minutes per question), but I do not want you to feel rushed in the process, and thus I have allowed 2.5 hours.

The purpose of the midterm is to provide the opportunity for you to synthesize and apply material from the readings, discussions, and assignments in the class.  I encourage you to specifically cite the readings as you make your case in answering the questions.

You  may take the exam any time from Monday, Nov. 10 through Sunday, November 16 at midnight.  Thus, 2:30 am on Monday, Nov. 17 is the latest time you can submit your completed exam. You may only access the exam one time.

We suggest that you do your exam in a word file and continually save this file.  When you are finished, you can return to WebCT and cut and paste each answer from your word file.  This way you have a backup midterm exam in your word file.  If you have any problems, please contact Clyciane or me immediately.

Review for the exam should include reviewing the three books, discussions, notes, and assignments.  We also have a review discussion in progress online.

Given the active engagement of this group and the quality of the assignments I have graded, I fully expect a successful exam experience.
