Astro122	Spring 2008

Exams

Final Exam

• Date:  Tuesday, May 6, 2008
• Place and Time:  In usual classroom, at 1:30-4:30pm
• Format:  70 Multiple Choice (56 new material and 14 from first exam)
• Bring: 
  • Yourself, well-rested and well-studied
  • You may also bring 1 piece of regular, 8.5"× 11" paper with notes written on it.  You may write or print whatever notes or diagrams you like on (both sides of) the paper.   I don't care if it handwritten, printed, or whatever.  It is a very good idea to write your own sheet, as the exercise of deciding what is important, organizing it, and writing it down, is a good way to study.
• Topics:  All topics from class may be covered. However, special emphasis will be placed on the material from after the midterm exam.  Lecture, reading material, homework, and discussion class topics are included. My goal is to test for understanding of the concepts we have discussed, and how they fit together.
  
  
• Study tips:  We have covered a lot of material in a short time, so here are some tips on how to approach your studies for the exam.
  • As noted above, lecture, reading material, homework, and class presentations can be included. However, note that topics covered in lecture are an indication of what I think is the most important material, so these are worth special focus.
  • Study with the study guide. If you can answer ever question correctly, then you will do very well on the final.
• Last Years's Final Exam:  Last year's exam is available here.
• Study Guide:  Emily and Jana have made a study guide. Download Guide.

• You may also bring 1 piece of regular, 8.5"× 11" paper with notes written on it.  You may write or print whatever notes or diagrams you like on (both sides of) the paper.  It is a very good idea to write your own sheet, as the exercise of deciding what is important, organizing it, and writing it down, is a good way to study.

• Study tips:  We have covered a lot of material in a short time, so here are some tips on how to approach your studies for the exam.
