Exam Date and Time

• Friday, May 30th

Exam Structure

• There are 45 M/C questions

• Students must bring their own calculators (graphing OK)
• The written exam is worth approximately 10% of the final grade
• Students will be provided a formula sheet and periodic table (no outside note cards).
• NOTE – The formula sheet is posted in the shared drive for your review before the exam: “Final Exam Equations” (found in the “Quiz-Exam” folder)

Topics

• The topics of the exam cover material learned only during the second semester
• As the course teaches many concepts that overlap and build, there will be some topics on the exam that were introduced in the first semester
• The list of topics and objectives is posted in the shared documents drive: “Final Exam Review” (found in the “Quiz-Exam” folder)

How Do I Study for This?

• The objectives are a guide for students wishing to prepare for the exam and should be considered a checklist.
• The recommended way of preparing for the exam is to use the list of objectives as a guide for practice.
• That is to say, for each item the student should go back to class notes and sample problems to review and refresh on the topic.
• Often the textbook has problems that were not assigned as homework but similar to the ones already completed as part of the course.
• Attempting to solve these might be a good start.
• While reviewing past problems (solved in class) has value, working problems not yet seen will provide the most benefit.

Because these things are important
