I’ve received a few questions about what to expect on Test #1. Here are some answers.

  1. There will be 10-15 questions total.
  2. Questions will be graded just like quiz questions: total of 10 points per question including 1 point for style and 3 for checking antiderivatives by differentiating (where appropriate): shorter questions will be worth 5 points each.
  3. No formula sheets are allowed. You must memorize the relevant trig identities as well as derivatives and antiderivatives.
  4. You must show all your work. If no work is shown but an answer is given without justification, a report will be filed with the Academic Integrity Committee.
  5. You may use a calculator, but you may not use any other devices (you may not use your phone’s calculator).
  6. You will have the whole class period but time will be an issue. Make sure you complete your practice problems several times so that you can complete them quickly.
  7. When you are applying a particular integration technique, state which one it is you are applying.
