[Mono-list] AssertEquals(msg, exp, actual)

Bob,

Nice job on the Boolean test!

I noticed you used AssertEquals(). Note that the parameters are
AssertEquals(message, expected_value, actual_value). It seems that
you've transposed the expected and actual value parameters. Nunit prints
a nice message when this assert fails like "Expected <X> but got <Y>"
and if you transpose the expected/actual values, it can make it really
confusing.

I noticed some other people making this same mistake, so I though I'd
post to the list and remind everyone.

Regards,
Nick D.
