Practice midterm corrections

See, you guys thought I was joking, but someone has already pointed out two mistakes with the practice midterm, earning 2 extra percentage points on their final grade. The mistakes were not actually with the answers, but I has the wrong questions listed. For (7) it should be page 36, question 30. For (24) it should be page 108, question 16. I've updated the practice midterm pdf on this blog.

So be sure you complete the practice midterm. You too may be able to get some extra credit for this class!

Midterm practice test

That's right, the midterm is a week from today, so you need to start getting ready! The midterm will cover chapters 1-8 in the textbook and will consist of 40 to 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 midterm, I have made a practice midterm that you can download here. It consists of 40 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 midterm are all 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.
