GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Follow all instructions carefully. Failure to do so will warrant a substantial deduction from your final score. 2. Write everything in non-red ink. No borrowing of pens, calculators, etc. 3. You are not allowed to leave your seat unless you are through with the exam. If you have any questions, just raise your hand and the instructor or proctor will attend to you. 4. Talking to or looking at your seatmate (and his/her paper) is automatically considered as cheating which is subject to very serious sanctions as stipulated in the student handbook.

GOOD LUCK ! ! !
