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.
Firm Test Dates: Bring a small scantron sheet and a #2 pencil.
