A single __Summative Assessment__ will be administered for each unit (unit exam). A Study Guide for each summative will be provided 10 to 14 days prior to exam date. The Study Guide includes ALL the material that will be measured on the exam. Preparing for a summative will include studying and reviewing the expectations within the Study Guide.
