notes on exams

General information on next week's exams:

• exams are worth a lot: 20% of your semester grade.  I advise you to take them seriously and prepare over the three day weekend
• most exams are partly Scantron...come to the exam with a pencil (or two).  Most teachers proctor exams in someone else's classroom, and will not be able to supply you with a pencil
• exams are 90 minutes long with a 15 minute extension if you need it
• you cannot leave until the initial 90 minutes are up, even if you finish your exam
• you are usually allowed to study for another test after you finish the one you are taking, so bring books and notes (but not computers)
• no advisory during exam week
• the cafeteria will be open between exams, but it will be completely jammed...I recommend you bring your own lunch/snack during exam week
• your locker must be completely emptied out and left open before you leave today
• the full exam schedule, including times and room assignments, is posted on the window outside the courtyard, by the big trophy case

Notes on your Human Geography exam:

• Section 01 tests in Room 106, Section 02 in Room 110, and Section 03 in Room 111 
• The exam is 2/3 Scantron and 1/3 essay.  So, bring a pencil plus whatever you prefer to write your essay with.
• This exam is NOT open blog or open note.  Prepare accordingly.
• However, you will be allowed to bring in one sheet of paper with your outlines for your essays.  Outline only - no paragraphs, no notes for the test, just the outline that you will then turn in with your essay.  I will instruct proctors to check this. 
• You are not allowed to bring your computer to this exam.
• You have already taken tests on the following material:  Intro to Human Geography, Population and Migration, Culture, Geopolitics, Economic Geography, and the Koreas.  Semester exam questions will be taken in part from this material. 
• More details - including the actual essay questions - soon.
