You will be given the entire class time to take the exam if you need it. 

We will proceed through all the questions numerically, pausing at each for a little over a minute before stopping at the essays. 

If you need to see a slide again, raise your hand and say the number of the question you need to see again.


Be sure to bring a Blue book with you to class as I do not have any to give out.
I also advise that you print multiple writing instruments with you.

As always, there will be no electronic device use allowed during test time.

A Note on Text Books

While I do not require you to bring a textbook to class,  I do suggest reading the chapters on the syllabus for the corresponding days. 

How you do that is at your discretion.

It can be through shared textbooks, used textbooks, e-books,  Google Books etc.

I will not test on anything that I do not go over in class and we do not have on a powerpoint or a study guide.

I am using the 12th edition, but the 13th edition is also compatible.

Use whichever is most accessible.

No Class on 1/21/13

Awesome.

Textbooks for Class

Hello!

Just a note on the class text book.
 I myself am using:
Gardner's Art Through The Ages: Non Western Perspectives 12th edition

However, if you already have the 13th Edition, it is also compatible with the course.

Also, if you want to get it as an E-Book, that is fine.

I do not require books to be brought to class, however, it can be very helpful, especially if you are a visual learner (like myself :) ).
