== Final exam ==

 * The final exam will be formatted much like the midterm exam.

 * Review session: in our classroom, 5–6:45 PM on Friday (Mar 13) or 10–11:45 AM on Saturday (Mar 14). ''Bring your questions!''

   * The review sessions focused mostly on going over materials, while example questions were touched upon briefly. Here is a short summary of [[Final review session summary|some notable things discussed (and some information added after the review session)]].

 * <<la(EX02-Review.pdf, "My barebone summary (sheet 2)")>>&mdash;you can bring two sheets of letter-size paper filled on both sides of each sheet.

 * <<la(EX02--practice problems.pdf, "Practice problems")>> and <<ln("https://gweon.com/ph5b-15/Lecture+?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=L18--Activities.pdf", "some more")>>. (Both these files are relevant for the exam.)

Midterm

  • The midterm score distribution is shown on the left.
  • The midterm with solutions.

  • The midterm exam is upon us. It will be held on Feb 12 in our classroom during our regular class schedule.
  • Here is my barebone summary of relevant materials.

    • To the midterm, you can bring one letter size paper filled with potentially useful formulae and facts (like those contained in my summary sheet).
    • You should also bring a simple calculator for the midterm (not a graphing calculator; a smart phone is not allowed, and neither is any internet connected device).

  • As a practice for the midterm exam, I recommend that you try the following. For both these problem sets, if you come up with a nice and clean solution to any problem, you can present it on the forum, for potential extra credit.
  • There will be a review session next week (one of Mo,Tu,We), but I am not certain what time that will be. It depends on students’ schedules and the room schedule. Here is my summary of the two review sessions.
