Midterm Exam         The Midterm exam will be available in Blackboard from 1pm - 9pm on 3/25, but must be taken in a continuous 2 hours and 45 minutes wherever you have Internet access.  As discussed in class it will consist primarily of about 50 questions similar to those in the 6 exams posted in Blackboard, with additional questions from the Learning Aids that were presented in class.  Please be aware that material in the course text provides the basis for correct answers related to the presentations - not necessarily what was in student work.    In the unlikely event that Blackboard is not available. a copy of the exam will se sent by e-mail to all students.  It then would be expected that a return e-mail be submitted with answers, within 3 hours of receipt of the exam.    I will be available during class time to respond to any e-mails received. Good luck on the exam, and see you back in our regular class 4/1 ....
