4 Practice Questions Exam Details Examinations There are sample exam questions posted on the Moodle web site. The purpose of these questions is to give you examples of how class material is presented on the exams. These are actual questions taken at random from the class exam pool across the entire semester. There will be four (4) examinations during the semester consisting of 150 multiple choice and true/false questions and one (1) comprehensive final exam consisting of 300 multiple choice and true/false questions. The semester exams will be worth 300 points each and the comprehensive final 600 points. Your total number of points for the course, excluding bonus points is 1800.You will be allowed 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete the 4 semester examinations and 3 hours to complete the final exam. Exam questions will be randomly generated by Moodle from an existing pool of questions. Examinations for any two students will be different in either order or exact content of questions. All exam questions are taken from the written notes and the instructional movies. Sometimes there will be slight deviations from the written notes and the voiced lectures. These are due to additions to the notes or misspeaking by the instructor. Always default to the written notes. No exam questions will be generated from the movies. The movies are to provide you background information to avoid having you purchase a text. Please save your exam question answers often as you take the exams. Should there be a short interruption in Moodle service, this will save your answers. If you do not save answers at the end of the exam, Moodle will not record your answers or administer a grade. Exam Question Problems You will not be allowed to print your exams. You are allowed scratch paper to note any question number on your exam that you would like to discuss with Dr. Croom. You will have 48 hours from the time you complete an exam to contest any question. 4
