In your first class, you were introduced to the Vivarium protocols through lecture and the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) handout that outlines the care of the animals and the facility.  To ensure that you fully understand the importance of proper compliance to the SOP, we ask that you test your understanding via the SOP Mastery Test.  This test contains 25 questions in regards to the procedures of proper management of the Vivarium.  Reading the SOP and participation in the care of the Vivarium will ensure a satisfactory grade.  You may take the test as many times as you would like until you feel satisfied with your grade.

The test will be administered in the Academic Skills Center (M-321) located on the third floor of the main building.  When you feel that you understand the material, go to the Academic Skills Center, introduce yourself as a VET 120 student, and explain that you are there to take the test.  They will supply you with a quiet area to take the test.  No books or notes are allowed.  When you are finished, turn the test into the attendant and you will receive your grade in a few days, checking with Katie (D-211) for the results.  If you are not satisfied with your results, you may retake the test when you are ready.  

The test will be available until _____________, 2003.
