Advice for the written exam. Please write your answers clearly! On the true/false questions write a clear T or F Examples of answers that are ALWAYS wrong: ₮ Ŧ Ħ ᵮ Γ Ƚ ʧ ₣ Ⱡ Ԏ Ѭ On the multiple choice and matching, please write a clear uppercase letter (A, B, C, D, etc.). Many lowercase letters (a, b, c, d, etc.) look similar to each other with sloppy handwriting. If I do not know what your answer is, it is wrong.

Written Test Procedure Clear your desk. Spread out. BE QUIET once I start handing out tests. If you have a question or a problem, please raise your hand and tell me. Write your answers clearly. When you have finished, please put your test paper on my podium. Leave the room quietly.
