1 Information: There is no talking during the exam. As long as anyone in the classroom is working on the exam, there will be no talking. You will receive a single warning for talking. If you continue to talk, you will stop working on that section of the final exam, and will receive a zero (0) for that section. Do not bring any personal devices with you to testing. If you do, it will be taken up and held until class is dismissed. If you finish early, you can read a paper book, or draw with paper & pencils. No computer work. Any suspicious behavior or suspicious test answers will be investigated as cheating, and may result in a zero (0) score for the final exam and a referral to campus administration.

Resize as large as possible on the Doc page. d) The results (answer to the question) must be fully visible in the screen shot. (See image below.) e) Read the question carefully. Be sure you are actually answering the question.
