Group assignment—Test #2 practice tests

Post due on the OpenLab Sunday, April 25

Group’s instructions

For this week’s group assignment, your group will assemble a practice test on Unit 2 (Lessons 11 to 20 on the course hub). When you meet as a group, assemble a 10-question test. Your group does not need to provide full solutions for the questions (though you may if you wish) but you must include final answers for each question.

Start by determining 10 categories of questions you will choose from. (Your individual assignments this week can help you choose these categories). Then choose your questions from both your Rederly WeBWorK homework and from your HOT Topics portfolio (about 5 questions from each). Make sure your test includes 10 questions of different types; make sure all the major topics from Unit 2 are represented.

Once your group has determined the 10 categories, individual group members can be assigned categories that they will choose questions for. How you divide the work is up to you as a group but everyone must contribute.

You may wish to consult other groups’ non-HOT Topics questions from last week’s assignment here.

Secretary’s instructions

The secretary may include questions that are:

  • typed,
  • hand written, or
  • screenshots.

Number each question 1 to 10. Make sure to indicate where each question came from in the group post.

  • If a question is from Rederly WeBWorK, list the set name and question number.
  • If a question is from a group member’s HOT Topics portfolio, list the corresponding HOT Topics standard.

Title the post Group n Test #2 practice (where n is your group number) and select the category Week 12 group post before publishing.

Everyone’s instructions

After all groups have posted their practice tests, take as many as you can to practice for Test #2! Each time you take a practice test, set a timer for 2 hours to see how far you can get. This will help you target the topics you need to review more before you take the actual Test #2 next Wednesday and Thursday.

Individual assignment—Test #2 cheat sheet

OpenLab post due Sunday, April 25

Test #2 will be given next Wednesday and Thursday. It covers Unit 2: Lessons 11 to 20 on the course hub and the corresponding Rederly WeBWorK sets. It will have the same format as Test #1.

For this week’s individual assignment, you will create a cheat sheet for Test #2 and share it on the OpenLab. Since Test #2 is open book and you are allowed to use your notes, you should think of this as a “theorem/definition/formula/example study sheet;” it’s not cheating to use it when you take the test!

It is up to you exactly what goes on your cheat sheet and how you organize it, but make sure it includes the statements of all of the series convergence tests, at the very least. You may include more detail and examples if you wish.

Submit a photo of your cheat sheet as an OpenLab post. Title your post Test #2 cheat sheet and select the category Week 12 individual post before publishing.
