Subject:
- Covers Chapter 12 and Sections 14.1 - 14.5 of Chapter
14.
Note: Section 14.6 will only appear on the next exam.
Problems will very be similar to those on the HW and
discussion worksheets. Some will be straight computations,
others will be conceptual short answer questions, and others
multiple choice or true/false questions. Taken collectively,
the HW should be viewed as constituting a study guide for
this exam.
Recommended Review Problems:
Working additional problems from the text is the
recommended way to prepare for the exam, as is doing the
problems from the worksheets that you didn't get to in
section. A key resource is the excellent list of review
problems at the end of each chapter, including quick concept
checks and a true/false quiz. For Chapter 12, all of them
relevant. For Chapter 14, what we've covered is reviewed in:
- Concept check: 1 - 11.
- True/false quiz: 1 - 6, 8.
- Exercises: 1 - 42.
Additionally, in WebAssign you will find assignments titled
"Review 12.1" and similar. These contain all the WebAssign
problems corresponding to that section of the textbook; while
they are essentially copied over from the textbook, they have
the advantage of giving you access to the solutions.
Practice Exams:
Here are some of old exams whose authors overlap with those
writting the exams for this semester, with solutions.
Important Note: In section on Thursday, Sept 20, you
will take the 2012 exam in timed conditions as practice, so
you don't want to look at it before that (the practice exam
won't be graded).
Conflict Exam:
If you have a conflict with the exam time, please consult the
university policy on
evening midterm exams. Based on that, if you think your
situation qualifies you to take the conflict exam, please
fill out this webform
at least one week before the exam date. The conflict exam will be
held Wednesday, Sept 26 from 7:45–8:55am in 314 Altgeld
(note that is in the morning, not the evening).
