18.  Once you have clicked to take a test you must finish it.  If you get out
       of it before you are finished you will receive a zero for all the
       questions that you didn’t answer which will result in a failing grade.    
       Your instructor might reset the test depending on the circumstances.

       email letting you know you have successfully completed the course. 
       You are finished.  You will be given credit for your school work.
