Instructions: FINAL EXAM
While preparing the answers do not copy directly from the textbook. Use your own
words in complete sentences and organize appropriately. Poorly written answers will reduce the
clarity of your answer and may result in a failing grade.
You are required to work individually on the exam and your responses will be verified using Safe
Assign. Refrain from copying or allowing others to copy answers, as identical answers will
receive zeroes.
