Test 3: May 5, 2025

Hello class,

This is just a reminder that your 3rd test will be on Monday, May 5, 2025. You will not receive a test paper unless you submit your cell phone and smartwatch (if you have one).

You will be allowed to use a calculator.

I am enclosing a sample test (Note: it has been updated) for you to work on in preparation for the test. It is by no means comprehensive and it is not the same as the test. Some things might get moved around /altered in the process. (Note: You’d be surprised how many of your classmates will think that this is actually the test, but it’s not).

You may also want to check Final Exam Review Questions : 1-12, 18-26, 28

Sample Test Answer Key (If there are any mistakes, please make a comment.)

Vacation WeBWorK Extensions

Hello class,

Maybe you’ve noticed that your old WeBWorK sections have been reopened with a due date of April 21, 2025. This is intentional and to help you boost your WeBWorK grade. Remember that WeBWorK counts for 15% of your grade. That is equivalent to one test grade. Also, if you complete at least 90% (Let me make this clear, this will not happen if you only get to 89.99%) of your WeBWorK, then you will receive a 100% overall for your WeBWorK grade.

After the 21st, the WeBWorK will be extended until the end of the semester, except the scoring will be reduced.

Best,
Professor Lee
