in this course has satisfied each of the course outcomes. On this exam, you have the opportunity to
satisfy outcomes i, iii, iv, and viii. (See the course syllabus for a complete description of each
outcome.) On the chart below, we list the criteria we use for determining whether you have satisfied
these course outcomes. Outcome i is a repeat. We use this outcome result only if you did not satisfy
it previously.
