Note: Tests may NOT break
exactly with the units. Topics and chapters covered on a test depend on
where we are in class discussion and you will always have a week's
notice. We will not discuss every topic in the text in class; the text
and class material will complement each other. Text material will be
covered on tests, even if we do not cover the topics in class. You will
have study guides for each unit and these will indicate if there are text pages for which you are not responsible.
Approximate Test

pencil.
