On the exam, some of the questions can be easily answered by typing answers into the test document document.  Other questions will be easier to answer if you print them out, and hand-write the answers.  For problems whose answers you hand-write, you will need to scan those answer, and then insert the scanned files into a Word document (please look at your scanned version to make sure I can read what you have written--the default settings are usually fine, but if you have small handwriting you may need to increase the scan resolution).  For the questions that call for you to explain how to do a process, you may find it easier to make a video clip (though a good written/illustrated answer is fine too).  All of these options (and any combination of them) are acceptable.  Your completed work will need to be submitted to the appropriate D2L dropbox within 2 days after receiving this test file.

You should not need much more than an hour to work all of these problems, and you should try to complete everything in a single sitting, taking no longer than 2 hours.  This is a closed book exam, you should not be using your book/notes/my lectures on the internet while taking the exam.

You may be as reasonable to yourself as I would be to you:

• if your computer doesn’t cooperate, and you lose time to technology mishaps, you should take the extra time you need. 
• If you are at the end of the time limit, and you know how to answer the last couple of problems, but you need a few more minutes, then a few more minutes is fine.  If you are at the end of your time limit and you are spinning your wheels and you don’t know what to do, stop and turn it in as is. (If you need to take more than 10 extra minutes, please indicate on your exam  what you had completed at the end of 2 hours,  and how long it took to complete the rest of the exam.  I will endeavor to do reasonable and fair things with this information)
• If you could answer a question if only you remembered a particular word or something like that, you may (twice during the exam) look up the word or short fact that you have forgotten if you write me a note and tell me what you looked up.  If you were in class with me, I would tell you a word/formula/short piece of information if it would enable you to do the rest of the problem, but then you get partial credit, in that, you get credit for the work you were able to do given the information, but you do not get the points that were awarded for knowing the fact you looked up.
