EXAMS
- For each exam, each student should bring a #2 pencil,a calculator
for numerical calculation (Graphing calculators are permitted) and a
picture ID.
- EXAMS ARE CLOSED BOOK - CLOSED NOTE.
A FORMULA SHEET. will be provided which contains useful formulas and
physical constants.
- If you have a University sanctioned trip or other conflict that
makes it impossible to take an exam, contact your lecture instructor
one week before the exam about taking the exam at a an alternate time
during the week of the exam. Make-ups after the week of the exam will
given a penalty unless there are exceptional circumstances.
- Midterms will have 10 numerical and 10 conceptual (e.g. T/F)
problems for 231 and 10 numerical and 12 conceptual problems for 231C.
(See grading criteria for explanation)
- Final will have 16 numerical and 16 conceptual problems. Half the final
will be based on material of last three problem sets, while the other half
will be confined to the first 9 problem sets. There will be no questions on
the final related to the
first nine problem sets which are not similar to problems from the midterms
posted on LON-CAPA for either the on-line or the lecture sections. Thus,
studying these six midterms should be an excellent way to prepare for the "old"
material on the final.
- Approximately 1/2 of midterm questions will be modified*
homework problems.
- Off campus students (Section 731) need to contact instructor for
instructions regarding exams.
* Modified could mean that if original problem gave x and asked for y,
modified
problem might give y and ask for x.
