$14$ OF $26$ QUESTIONS REMAINING

Exam Content

In your academic, personal, and professional life, you will use problem$-$solving skills. In your personal life, as well as at any job, you need to have "common sense." Common sense is about making sound and reasonable decisions. You need to take in information and make decisions based on the information you have. Logic helps formalize the process of making these informed decisions. In this exam, you will use your deductive skills $($like Sherlock Holmes!$)$ as well as your inductive skills, which require you to make the best assumptions based on limited evidence.

Assessment Deliverable

In this assessment, you will complete an exam comprised of $26$ multiple$-$choice questions about applying basic quantitative logic, including deduction and induction, to contextualized situations. You have $1$ attempt to complete the exam, and you will not see the correct answers until all grades for the week have been posted. So$,$ be sure you review all previous course materials before attempting it$.$
