(Form Code A)
October 15, 2009

Instructions: On your scantron sheet enter your name, UF ID number (start on the first space
and leave
the last space blank), and Form Code (see above). This exam consists of 20 multiple
choice questions each
worth 10 points for a total maximum of 200 pts. You may retain your exam sheet. Turn
in only the
