EBC6230 – Electronic Supply Chain Technologies and Applications
Test Guidelines
The test will be 60 minutes but you should only need half that time to complete the test.
The test will be CLOSED book.
There will be 40 TRUE or FALSE questions (in 10 sections) and one “fill in the blanks” question based on material covered in class.
You are responsible for all the material on the wiki site that guided you through the 3 assignments and projects (concepts and tutorials).
You are responsible for all the material presented in the power point slides during the first 4 lectures.
The Health Care Case Study is NOT part of the test.
