Rules: There is a 2-hour time limit. Exams must be completed in one sitting. This exam is open book and open note. Students may use web browsers, and open documents like PDFs, PowerPoint files, and word processors (like Microsoft Word, Pages, and Notepad). Students may not chat, message, email, or speak to anyone else during this exam. Students may not use artificial intelligence (e.g. ChatGPT) in any way during this exam. For short answer questions: Please write in complete sentences to answer these questions. I have provided some suggested sentence guidelines. However, some students may be able to answer the question in fewer sentences, and some students may prefer to write more to fully answer the question, and that is okay. Please explain your reasoning/logic. In some cases, there may not be one “right” answer. I am more interested in how you apply the material covered in class than whether you come up with one specific answer to these short answer questions. For multiple choice and true/false questions: select the best response
