                 CREATING YOUR EXAMINATION MENU  

  ICES enables the instructor to  create  a  special  examination
menu  for  use by the students.  The program accomodates up to 20 
different exams or quizes, so you must provide ICES with 1 to  20
examination  menu  items  which will define the exam menu for the
students.  

  Suppose, for example, that you want to use only six  exams  for
your  course.   In  this  example let's suppose that you want the
exams to cover the following topics.

     Algebraic Manipulations
     Descriptive Statistics
     Probability Theory
     Linear Regression
     Simple Correlation
     The t-test

  Once you have given ICES the above definitions, it will be able
to construct an Examination Menu such as the one shown below.

                  ║ 5  Simple Correlation          ║
                  ║ 6  The t-test                  ║

ORGANIZING YOUR EXAM MENU  

  As you well know, advance  planning  saves  much  grief  later.
Thus,  you  should  carefully  plan  the way in which you wish to 
organize the work that ICES will  be  called  upon  to  help  you
manage.   In  this  regard,  you should write your Exam Menu on a
separate work sheet before attempting to enter it as your menu.   

  Once you have entered your exam menu items, ICES  will  present
you with your final Exam Menu to make sure that it is constructed
as  you  wish.  You will also be given an opportunity to re-enter
the exam menu items if that is needed.

  WARNING  WARNING  WARNING  WARNING  WARNING  WARNING  WARNING 


  You have an existing Exam Menu File!  If you proceed with  this
portion of the setup procedure you will destroy the existing Exam
Menu  File.   Once that occurs, you will have to create a new one 
and then insure that exams are congruent  with  the  menu  items.
That may require the redesign of your exams or quizes.
