Final Exam

• Date:  Tues., Dec 15, 2009
• Place and Time:  In usual classroom, at 1:30-4:30pm
• Format:  19 Multiple Choice from Exam 1, 19 Multiple Choice from Exam 2, and 37 Multiple Choice from the new material, Lecture 23+. The test will have 5 points of extra credit.
• 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. 19 questions from each hour exam, and 37 questions from new material. 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 and homework 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.
• Review Questions: Some review slides for the Exam.
• Copies of Exam 1 and Exam 2:  Exam 1 is here and Exam 2 is here.
