  12. PUN FUN A sign on the lawn at a drug rehab center said: “Keep off the Grass.” She was only a whiskey maker, but he loved her still. A chemist walks into a pharmacy and asks the pharmacist, "Do you have any acetylsalicylic acid?" "You mean aspirin?" asked the pharmacist. The chemist replies, "That's it, I can never remember that word!"

  13. STUDENT FEEDBACK • I took the test this morning and passed. They said in about 1-3 weeks I should get something in the mail with a breakdown of my scores. I felt that the test was fairly easy. Of the two hours given to take it I was done in 50min mainly because I either knew or didn't. There was only about 5 questions in all that I had never really seen some form of before. The area most concentrated was calculations and they were very straight forward and types of problems I had seen before. Surprisingly when I started reviewing I realized that I had retained most of the material I had learned. I think this was mainly because of the repetition. • After taking the test and seeing what was on it I think the class prepared me for it completely. I think at the end of the year when you made us take each test at least 3 times helped. For me it was almost more about repetition and seeing the problems. I could easily take the test and get an A first time open notes but when I had to take it cold I had to actually absorb what I was getting right and wrong. I know that it might be hard getting it all in but a suggestion would maybe be taking the test a minimal of three times. Once with notes and the others cold. I would also maybe recommend if possible that for the cold test to count as the other two test they need to be a 75 or 80. To some people who are not as efficient getting their work done this might be hard to get through all the curriculum but I do think it would help. • All but one of the drugs on the test were in our weekly quizzes so that helped a great deal because the grade motivated most of us to take the time to learn the drugs. • I think the idea of part paper and computer may help keep students on task more even if it is one of the test just printed.
