While I know many of you are feverishly working on completing
PowerPoint and Project 3, I just wanted to let you know that I have set
the final up so that it will open at 3:00 pm today (Thursday) and will
not allow any submissions after 11:59 pm on Friday. That gives you two
evenings in which you can take the exam.<br>
<br>
A few quick notes....<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>The exam is timed. It also will not allow you to "save for
later". You should plan on just sitting down for a few hours and
knocking it out.</li>
<li>The exam is very similar to the pre-test you took earlier in the
semester. It will contain some simulations as well as multiple choice
questions</li>
<li>Read the instructions in the simulations carefully. By far the
biggest reason people have issues with the simulations is because they
miss a step in the diractions.</li>
<li>Do let me know if you are having issues. For example, earlier
this summer some folks didn't see the bullets show up in the multiple
choice questions. This was deemed an issue with the browser they were
using. You must use Internet Explorer (prior to version 8, or IE 8 in
compatibility mode) and you must have run the MyITLab installation
wizard to make sure you have all of the pieces are installed</li>
</ul>
<br>
DO NOT WAIT unitl 9:00 Friday night to start the exam. That gives me
absolutely no time to help you if something should go wrong while you
are taking the exam. <br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
