the MMM tutor for 2 hours in order to be eligible to take the final quiz. i. Math commons hours posted under Learning Commons -

http://divisions.carrollu.edu/library/LC/MathCommons.asp. ii. Math tutors will be required to sign the student's MMM remediation log.

If you click off the screen during the quiz, the computer will lock you out of the quiz and you may receive 0 points. Not all off campus computers allow you to successfully take the quiz due to compatibility issues. If you have any issues, you need to email Karie in a timely fashion with a concern regarding these quizzes. Quizzes 6 & 12 are part of Medication Math Mania as described above.
