Strategy fr Success: Read the chapter befre cming t class; utline and list main cncepts listed n the learning bjectives. G t the website: http://www.masteringmicrbilgy.cm Answer questins at the end f each chapter and additinal quiz questins and practice exam questins n the MasteringMicrbilgy web site. Frm a study grup (this will help mre than yu knw) Attend help sessins and/r cme see me fr help n a regular basis- dn t wait until the day befre an exam when it is t late fr much assistance. Examinatins: Exam frmat is varied and might include sme definitins, matching, labeling, fill-in-the blank, sketching, prblem slving, multiple chice, and shrt essays.

Critical thinking questins will als ccur n tests in which the student is presented with a clinical situatin and asked t cme up with a slutin. Exams will be cmpleted in the testing center. Exams must be cmpleted during the hurs f peratin f the testing center. Pay clse attentin t listed testing dates. If the line is t lng and the testing center clses befre a test can be taken n the last day f the test, then the student will get a zer n the exam, s be there early r suffer.
