What to Bring |
Bring:
|
Question Format | The exam will consist of 30 multiple choice questions, possibly with a bonus question. Thus you on average should allow 1 minute and 40 seconds per question. The homework questions serve as a an excellent guide for the kind of topics and questions the instructor considers to be important. In fact, some of the exam questions will have a "strong family resemblance" to homework questions. |
Study Tips | The best way to prepare for the exam is to be sure you are clear on the concepts and to be able to understand and apply the concepts and equations you have been given. In both cases, your lecture notes will be helpful, as will the text. Reviewing the homework is also an excellent way to practice quantitative problems. |
Study Sheet | You may bring 1 piece of regular, 8.5inch x 11inch paper with notes written on it. You may write or type whatever notes or diagrams you like on one or both sides the paper. This page is for your convenience only and is not necessary if you have studied well. If you bring a sheet, it is a very good idea to write it yourself, as the exercise of deciding what is important, organizing it, and writing it down, is a good way to study. |
Review | Review topics and sample questions appear in the class notes from Wednesday, Feb. 15. |
