        !             4: 
        !             5: Deployment of a Concept Test requires completion of the following three
        !             6: steps:
        !             7: 
        !             8: \begin{enumerate}
        !             9: \item Creation of a course and setting of access dates.
        !            10: \item Assembly of a valid test from Concept Inventory questions
        !            11: \item Enrollment of students
        !            12: \end{enumerate}
        !            13: When assembling a test you may either:\newline
        !            14: (a) have a valid test built automatically by the WebCenter, or\newline
        !            15: (b) select the questions to include by combining questions chosen from
        !            16: eleven bins with four mandatory questions.
        !            17: 
        !            18: The most efficient way to enroll students is to upload a text file
        !            19: containing usernames and passwords. \ Students full
        !            20: e-mail addresses should be used as their usernames to ensure
        !            21: uniqueness.

        !            44: 
        !            45: Choose at least one question from each bin. There are four mandatory
        !            46: questions that must be included on each test (for scaling purposes) and
        !            47: hence, cannot be removed. \ Some of the GCI questions are
