Practice final available

The final exam is a week from today, so you need to start getting ready! The final will cover all reading we have done in the class, but with a strong emphasis on chapters 9-16, 18, and 19. The test will consist of 50 true/false and multiple choice questions. You will need to bring to class a SCAN-TRON 882 form and a #2 pencil for the test. I will NOT have extras on hand, so don't forget. Both of these are available in the campus bookstore. Also, the test is closed book, closed notes, and no calculators. I will help help you out by providing a page of important equations and numbers, so you don't have to memorize these things.

To help you prepare for the final, I have made a practice final that you can download here. It consists of 50 questions from your textbook and also a sample sheet of the equations and numbers I will be providing on the test, so that you know what to expect. I recommend you give yourself an hour and a half, sit down and try taking the practice test. On the last sheet of the practice final are the answers, so you can check how you do. If you find you're having trouble with anything, be sure to come in to the discussion sections next week to ask questions.

CHANCE FOR EXTRA CREDIT! If while you're taking the practice test you find that there are any mistakes with my answers, send me an email! For each mistake you find, you will receive one extra percentage point on your final grade. You must be the first person to notify me of any particular mistake. On the practice midterm there was 2 mistakes, so do know that I am fallible!
