IAL 5 is NOT
lectured on in class and is just a
Reading-Homework-Self-Testings (RHSTs).
It is less heavily weighted on Exam 1.
- The exam is entirely multiple-choice with 72 questions in 75 minutes (50 questions in 50 minutes for
summer semester exams).
It is CLOSED book/notes.

In-Person Instruction Course:
Scantron readers sometimes make mistakes---but be forewarned, I photocopy
some of the scantrons to forestall any attempts at the old change-the-scantron scam.
Also, I can make mistakes making up the key or entering marks.
- Don't be discouraged if you are at the low end of the spectrum.
There are lots of marks to come and lots of room to move up.
