FINAL EXAM

Date and time of the exam are shown on the Registrar's page, https://registrar.cornell.edu/exams/fall-final-exam-schedule

1. Display, download, or print this PDF form for the exam (opens in a separate tab or window).
2. Use any of these methods to record your answers:
   • If you have a tool for typing into the PDF file (e.g. Acrobat Pro), you can do that.
   • Or you can copy the contents of the PDF, paste them into a Word file (or some other wordprocessor), and then type your answers there.
   • If you don't like typing Cyrillic, print the PDF and write on the printout.
   • If none of that works for you, write your answers on a blank sheet of paper, as you wrote your homework this semester, and number your answers, so we know what goes where.
3. Convert your answers to a PDF file; from Word, you can save it as a PDF; or you can photograph your writing and run that through a PDF converter, as you did for all your homework this semester.
4. Be sure to start the filename of your PDF with your net ID and include your Russian nickname (in Latin letters); the rest of the filename is up to you.
5. Use THIS LINK to submit your PDF file and send a private message through the Zoom Chat box to Slava to ask him to check out the file.
6. Scroll to the top of this syllabus page, find the "Course evaluation form" link, and submit your anonymous course evaluation for Russian 2203 THREE times: once for each of your instructors, marking the Text questions for Raissa, the Translation questions for Slava, and the rest for Viktoria. (You can do this at any point during the exam.)
7. Check the Chat box to see if Slava has confirmed that your exam was received and is readable. WAIT for Slava's response.

Do not leave this Zoom room until you get confirmation from Slava (and submit your evaluation).
