Also this week you will be completing the final exam creation project. This project is covered by the same evaluation form that covers the presentation/ activity. All team members will complete this form to hand in. There are four items due related to the team projects at the end of those projects: ( due Week 13)

1. a summary report on the class presentation/activity for your team's chapter.
2. a mock exam (on three chapters) created by the team
3. an answer key for the exam

The "trial" exams are due next week (March 28) when they will be exchanged with another team. Be sure to bring enough exams for the members of another team. You will want to get feedback form this team so that you can revise your exam. Any revisions will be made so that the final copy of the exam and answer key will be handed in with the evaluation on April 11.

For next week, you and your team will be taking an exam prepared by another team. Be sure to bring enough copies of your trial exam, one for each member of another team to take. Don't forget to bring the answer keys as well!

Remember that Week Thirteen is our last week together!
