Part 1

Due Monday, December 11

For Part 1 of the final exam review assignment, you will make up your own practice final exam using the above review questions as examples. Your final exam should contain 5 questions (possibly including multiple parts). We covered more than 5 topics this semester, so you will have to make a choice about which 5 you think are most likely to be represented on the actual final exam; your classmates may make different choices from you.

You may type your practice exam using LaTeX or you may include a photo of your hand-written work (or a link to a photo if the OpenLab isn’t allowing you to post the photo itself).

Title: Practice exam

Category: Practice exam

Part 2

Due Monday, December 11

Write full solutions for your exam and submit them as a comment on your original post. If you choose WeBWorK problems or textbook problems, verify that your answers agree with the WeBWorK or the back of the textbook, respectively.

Part 3

Due Thursday, December 14 (hard deadline)

Choose one of your classmates’ practice exams (do not look at their solutions) and give it to yourself in an exam environment: choose a time when you will not be interrupted, set a timer for 75 minutes, and do not use any aids other than your calculator. Write full solutions.

Post your solutions as a comment on your classmate’s post and check them against the solutions they posted in the comments. Resolve any discrepancies between your solutions and their solutions by submitting a separate comment on their post with the details.

Ideally, you will give yourself more than just one practice exam. If there are any problems you’re not confident in answering on a practice exam, that’s a sign that you need to review and practice that material more. You should practice more textbook problems or corresponding WeBWorK problems until you feel confident. Usually, more practice is required than you think!
