Exam Supervision

All exams are "closed book" and require supervision. If you are unable to access a local school to write your exams, you will need to find a teacher that will supervise your exams. Please have them e-mail me and I will send them the required information.

Assignments

Before you write a unit exam, you must send me all assignments and labs leading up to the exam. Assignment and lab submissions MUST be very neat and well organized.

I assume that you will do all the required assignments. Success on the Unit, Module and Final Exams depends upon exposure to a large variety of questions and lots of practice.
