  2. Dear Dr. Triff:

    This is Regine from PHI 2604 Wednesday 6:30 - 9:00PM

    Hope this note finds you well.

    I have a concern about two questions that were on today's final .

    Question # 2 Reliability of a test

    and # 37 Inept Custodians these two questions are from previous chapters "excluded from the final review" . what will happen If I get them wrong?

    there is an other question that i do not remember the number and I am asking myself if it not a typo " IMPLIED CONSENT"

    Thanking you in advance for replying to this e-mail.

    It has been a great semester and I've surely learned a lot from your good teaching.

    Best regards,



    REGINE D
