The faculty and staff of the EUP Chemistry Department want you to
succeed in your chemistry classes. We
know that there is little more frustrating for a student to discover that he or
she has, as the trite phrase goes, "bitten off more than he (or she)
can chew". It is equally
frustrating for a student to discover that he or she is enrolled in a class
that is little more than a review of information he or she already knows. Be
assured that it can be equally frustrating for the instructor to have students
who are in the wrong class. The purpose of this diagnostic test is to help
determine if you are enrolled in the appropriate chemistry course. The results
of this test do not count toward the final grade in any course you might take.
Please contact the Chemistry Department immediately, if you have any questions,
comments, concerns, or problems about this diagnostic test!
You will be taking the
quiz on-line using the MOODLE course management system . You will log
onto the system, take the test, and receive your score all on the system. You
