Midterm Quiz

As you prepare to take this online midterm exam on Canvas, please carefully review the following guidelines. As you know, our commitment to academic integrity is paramount at Seattle University, and I want to ensure clarity on expectations so that you can complete this exam confidently and fairly. This assessment is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your own knowledge and understanding.

Please read these instructions thoroughly, as adhering to them is essential.

The exam must be taken in the classroom during the scheduled time unless you have a prior arrangement with the SU Disabilities Center. It may not be taken from any other location unless you have prior written approval from Joe Barnes.

Many of the questions involve scenarios. These call upon you to reflect on your readings, class presentations, class discussions, and use your critical thinking.

Carefully read each scenario. If it is a multiple-choice question, please select the most appropriate and effective communication strategy.

Please answer each question in the order they appear. Questions do not appear in the same order for each person. Once you submit an answer you won't be able to go back to a previous question. Once you start the quiz, you must finish it.

If you are still taking the quiz when time runs out, you will not be permitted to finish.

There are no makeups.

If you need to use the restroom during the quiz, please leave your phone in the classroom.
