Final Test
Please find the final test for your class. Again I want to state that NO ONE has to take the final due to all of the changes taking place with the entire world regarding the virus. If you choose to not take the final, you will have the grade given to you on March 16, 2020. Note: There may be some small change due to turning in HW #9 this week.
Please DO NOT GO to your regular classroom to take the final. The school is encouraging students to stay off campus.
Please take the final and use your own paper.
After you complete the final you can scan or photograph final and email it.
Email final to wdiss@pcc.edu .
Things are changing quickly with quarantines, shut downs, etc., so I would try and finish the test quickly and email it. If you cannot complete the test by late Tuesday, please let me know.
If you cannot see or print the test questions, or if you cannot send your results on a computer, contact me quickly.
Thank you,
