TEST TIME.

THERE IS TO BE NO TALKING.

NOTE ON YOUR “SCANTRON” TRUE = 1 AND FALSE = 2.

#1 IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE IN YOUR SEAT, WITH A SHARPENED PENCIL AND YOUR NOTEBOOK WHEN THE BELL SOUNDS.

#2 THE COURSE DESCRIPTION STATES, “SOME PEOPLE MIGHT THINK OF THIS AS A COLLEGE PREPARATORY COURSE.”

#3 THE COURSE ASKS, “WHAT ARE THE THINGS, AND PLACES, AND IDEAS WE CAN DESIGN TO MAKE THE BETTER BALTIMORE?”

#4 THE COURSE ASKS, “WHAT ARE THE THINGS, AND PLACES, AND SYSTEMS WE CAN DESIGN TO MAKE THE BETTER BALTIMORE?”

#5 THE CONTENT FOR THE COURSE FALLS INTO HOW MANY AREAS? A. 5 B. 6 C. 4 D. 3

#6 SKILLS INSTRUCTION ANSWERS THE QUESTION, “HOW.”

#7 “THE APT ORDERING OF EFFORT” REFERS TO PROCESS.

#8 PERSPECTIVE IS ABOUT THE UNIQUE PICTURE OF THE WORLD YOUR MIND MAKES FOR YOU.

#9 PURPOSE WOULD ANSWER THE QUESTION, “WHY?”

#10 PRINCIPLES HAVE LITTLE TO DO WITH MATH OR SCIENCE.

#11 PRINCIPLES WOULD HAVE TO DO WITH APPLYING MATH AND SCIENCE CONCEPTS.

#12 PRESENTATION HAS TO DO WITH THE KIND OF “STATEMENT” THAT MUST BE MADE FOR YOU TO CASH IN ON YOUR EXPERIENCE.

#13 PRESENTATION MEANS THAT WHATEVER GREAT IDEA YOU COME UP WITH IS USUALLY GOOD ENOUGH BY ITSELF.

#14 IN A.O.T. WE SHALL MAKE THINGS TO REPRESENT IDEAS.

#15 PROJECTS INCLUDE SUMMARIZING AND EXPANDING UPON THE REPRESENTATION OF IDEAS.

#16 UNDER CHORES IT SAYS THAT YOU LOOSE POINTS IF YOU LEAVE A MESS.

#17 AS A STUDENT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO A GRADE CONFERENCE ANY TIME, ANYWHERE.

#18 IN A.O.T. YOU HAVE ALL RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES EXPLAINED IN THE BLUE POLY HANDBOOK.

#19 FOR EXAMPLE, THE HANDBOOK STATES CLEARLY THAT YOU MAY LEAVE THE CLASS TO GO TO THE NURSE AND THEN GO SOMEWHERE ELSE INSTEAD.

#20 IN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF CLASS IT IS YOUR RIGHT TO WANDER AROUND ASKING PEOPLE FOR A PENCIL.

#21 THERE’LL BE SOME HOMEWORK.

#22 THOUGH THERE IS HOMEWORK IN A.O.T., YOU MAY LEAVE HANDOUTS UNDONE IF YOU DON’T THINK YOU GOT ENOUGH TIME IN CLASS TO FINISH.

#23 AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU HAVE FOR CLASS EVENTS IS WHATEVER YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE.

#24 THERE ARE TWELVE UNITS IN THIS COURSE.

#25 EACH UNIT IN THIS COURSE IS ABOUT THREE WEEKS LONG.

#26 THE DURATION OF THE UNITS IN THIS COURSE IS NOT INDICATED ON THE NOTEBOOK SECTION DIVIDERS.

#27 THE COURSE ENDS WITH A COMPETITION.

#28 THE COURSE LEADS UP TO THE DESIGN OF THE “BETTER BALTIMORE NEIGHBORHOOD.”

#29 IT IS O.K. IF EVERY SO OFTEN YOU SLACK UP AND HORSEPLAY A LITTLE BIT.

#30 THE “GOLDEN RULE” IS AN A.O.T. RULE.

#31 “MPA” STANDS FOR PEER MUTUAL ASSESSMENT.

#32 MPA IS A MATTER OF GIVING CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.

#33 YOU DON’T EVEN NEED AN ACCOUNT FOR THIS COURSE.

#34 IF YOU DON’T HAVE AN ACCOUNT THERE IS NO WAY TO GET ONE FOR FREE.

#35 “RUBRIC” EXPLAINS HOW GRADES ARE ASSESSED.

#36 “PERSEVERENCE” MEANS YOU HAVE TO TRY AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT.

#37 “MERCY” HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FORGIVENESS.

#38 “GOODNESS” WOULD HAVE TO DO WITH VIRTUE AND STRENGTH.

#39 “FREEDOM” WOULD MEAN YOU MAY MAKE CHOICES.

#40 “RESPONSIBILITY” WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH DUTY AND OBLIGATION.

#41 “ACHEIVEMENT” AND “TAKING IT EASY” MEAN ABOUT THE SAME THING.

#42 “APPLICATION” MEANS PUTTING SOMETHING TO USE.

#43 “RAMIFY” HAS TO DO WITH “EXTENDING.”

#44 “STANDARD” AND “CRITERION ” HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER.

#45 “ENGINEERING” HAS TO DO WITH MATERIALS BUT NOT WITH ENERGY.

#46 “COLLABORATE” MEANS LETTING THE BEST PERSON GET OUT IN FRONT AND DO MOST OF THE WORK.

#47 SINCE YOU ARE JUNIORS, YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO SHOW YOUR WORK IN A MATH PROBLEM.

#48 THE ANSWER IN A MATH PROBLEM SHOULD BE UNDERLINED.

#49 IN A MATH PROBLEM, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO START OFF BY STATING WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.

#50 SINCE WE ALL KNOW THE BASIC FORMULAS, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO STATE THEM IN MATH PROBLEMS.

#51 AT OUR LEVEL, MATH PROBLEMS BASICALLY JUST REQUIRE FILLING IN THE ANSWER.

#52 THE STRATEGY FOR FINDING A MATH SOLUTION WOULD OFTEN INCLUDE MAKING A LABELED SKETCH.

#53 THE “GENERAL CONDITIONS” SECTION DIVIDER STATES THAT WE ARE NOT IN A.O.T. TO ENGAGE IN THE “JOINT ENTERPRISE OF LEARNING.”

#54 THE A.O.T. STANDARD FOR SHORT ANSWERS IS A COMPLETE SENTENCE.

#55 SHORT ANSWERS ONLY REQUIRE A VERB OR SUBJECT, BUT NOT BOTH.

#56 THE A.O.T. STANDARD OF LETTERING ASSIGNMENTS CAN BE THOUGHT OF AS A CHALLENGE TO MASTER A SYSTEM.

#57 AT THE END OF THE PERIOD, DO NOT PLACE TOOLS AND MATERIALS NEATLY UPON THE SHELF AT THE END OF YOUR TABLE.

#58 PASS PAPERS TO THE WINDOW, PLACING YOURS ON TOP OF THE ONE FROM YOUR RIGHT SIDE.

#59 THE TEACHER WILL ALWAYS GIVE YOU HANDOUTS AT YOUR SEAT.

#60 CLASS LESSON PLANS AND HANDOUTS ARE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER IN THE CATCH-UP FILE.

#61 IT IS EXPECTED THAT YOU WILL COME TO COACH CLASS TO MAKE UP MISSED TIME.

#62 YOU ONLY HAVE TO SIGN IN AT COACH CLASS IF IT WAS AN ILLEGAL ABSENSE.
