Commercial Outlines and End of Question Period

The Business Associations I exam is tomorrow, December 4, 2008, at 1 p.m. As such, I will not respond to any more questions regarding this exam or course material. This close to the exam time, I cannot equitably respond to and distribute any of my responses to all students.

Also, I received a question regarding commercial outlines. This test is open book, and I placed no restriction on commercial outlines earlier, so you may bring one if you wish. However, I strongly recommend against it. The exam was created from the text book and my class materials. A commercial outline can be useful to help clarify your thoughts or class notes, but on its own is of little value. Again, as noted before, don't let your access to materials impede your ability to take the exam. You should look up few, if any, items during the exam. Otherwise, you run the risk of running out of time. A quick look may be helpful -- trying to learn the material during the exam will cause problems.

I will post the exam instructions for your review shortly. They will also, of course, be provided with the exam, but they will be provided early if you wish to review them before the exam time.
