The following assignment is intended for after reading review of course materials.  Homework questions may be True/False, Multiple Choice, Fill in the Blank or Matching.

These assessments are not timed and you are encouraged to use your textbook, notes, lecture materials and online references as needed to complete.

 Questions come from a question bank, so no two may be alike, although all content is in preparation for the exam.  If you are unsatisfied with your score, you can retake the homework (for a total of 3 attempts) up until the due date (it will likely generate new questions over the same content) and the highest score will be posted to your grade book.
