The purpose of this pre-assessment is to gauge your knowledge of material covered in prerequisite courses. Your performance on this assessment helps me to identify areas where students tend to be strong versus areas where students struggle. Knowing where students struggle is important so I can allocate additional class materials to get students to the level they need to be in the course. Therefore, please take this assessment without the help of any outside sources such as textbooks, Google, or AI. Remember, you will receive full credit regardless of how many questions you answer correctly.
