-Homework: Students should have the following message in their agenda: "Test Wednesday, I have study materials." The assignment here is for you to sign the agenda acknowledging that you have seen it.

     Students received a study guide today in class. The study guide is NOT the test. The test will cover materials covered in class over the last two weeks. Students have notes from class, charts from class, and other worksheets that capture the information covered in class. The study guide merely helps students focus on a few important topics and serves as a basis for review. Students should expect all material covered in class to appear on the test.
