1. How to get an A+ on the Final Exam
Class Review

2. How will the test go? You will be put into groups of three.
Each group will come in at the same time and be interviewed by the professor.
This is not a group test!
You will be graded individually.
You as a group will have 10 minutes total for the interview.
About 3 minutes for each person.
After your group is done, you can go!
Make sure to come at least 10 minutes early for your time.
Being late will result in an F!

No, I’ve never been in an accident myself, but once I saw a really bad accident. We were, like, driving on the highway and… THE KEY: It must be a related topic.
