HLTHAGE 3N03: Aging and Mental Health
Department of Health, Aging and Society
McMaster University
WINTER 2024
Test #1 (20%): February 13th, 2024
Full name: Lana El Barghouthi
Student Number: 400333441
Please read instructions:
Place your name and student number in the space provided above.
For Part A (multiple choice and true/false), please use the highlight feature in Word to
indicate your answer (if you do not have this feature, it is your responsibility to choose a
way that makes your answer clear)
For parts C and D, please pay attention to the mark total for each question and do not
“over answer” (i.e., providing irrelevant information).
Please save the file as a Word doc: full name_Test 1 [mine would be: Aly Bailey_Test 1].
Please note tests that are submitted as an unreadable file and need to be resubmitted
will be considered late.
o Submitting a PDF file is another option but is not preferred.
You will submit your Word file to the assignment tool named “Test 1” under
“Assessments->Assignments” by Wednesday February 14th 7:00PM (ET)
You can use your class notes and the materials I have posted on Avenue to Learn (it is
“open book”). I discourage using materials outside of the course (e.g., Googling your
answer), since the test is designed to assess course material only and because that
would be considered academic dishonesty.
It is expected you work independently on your test. Academic integrity (e.g., plagiarism)
will be assessed.
I will do my best to respond to emails during the 24-hour period.
Late Policy
The Late Policy in the course outline for late tests is 10% per day (beginning at 7:01PM). By
remaining enrolled in the course, you consent to these policies.
