Repeat in your head... "I will read and follow directions.  I will read and follow directions.  I will read and follow directions.  I will read and follow directions."  

We'll see... :0)  I sincerely hope that you do. I don't want anyone to miss something because of failure to read and follow the pretty words.

You have two things to accomplish today.  Please do the items below IN ORDER.  

1)  Take your test that covers the principles we learned in labs 1-7.  

2)  Take notes using BrainPop. 

Test 

Before you begin, look over the practice problems you did last night and your notes.  Do you have any questions for me?  Odds are, if you have a question, someone else does, too.  I will not give the secret word until after the first ten minutes of class.

You may use a calculator and/or scratch paper.  You may NOT use notes.  I will review ALL fill-in-the-blank or essay myself.  You do not need to ask me if I plan to; I will ALWAYS do this.  I decided to set the test to not give any feedback so that information isn't shared from class to class.  We will go over the whole test together in the early half of next week.

Be sure you know the secret word.  Click here to begin.
