Today’s  Agenda for Monday, May 20, 2019: Spend some time preparing to take the test. Make sure your BICUM Brochures is finished and ready to hand in. Take the final test. For each answer refer specifically to the article. Write legibly.  I can't award points for an answer I can't read. When finished, staple the article to the test with the staple in the same corner as the staples that were already there.  They will be back-to-back.  Make sure your name is on your test -- first and last.  Hand in the test and your brochure to the top wire basket.   DO NOT staple the brochure to the test.  After you have handed in your test, quietly read.

If You Were Absent: See me to arrange a time to take the test.
