University of Washington, Department of Mathematics Math 124, 125, 126, Winter, 1999
Time and Place. Your final exam will be on Saturday, March 13, 1999 from 1:30 PM until 4:20 for Math 124, 125, and 126. The room where your class takes the final examination is listed on back of this sheet. Students who cannot take an examination for religious reasons should immediately petition to make alternative arrangements. Petition forms are available in the Mathematics Advising Office, C-36 Padelford. The petition has to be filed by Friday, February 12, 1999. . As a rule, other than for religious reasons no exceptions will be made to this examination time. If you are unable to take the final examination for reasons of health, you have to call the professor in advance, and you will have to provide a written medical excuse. If extraordinary circumstances of grave personal import preclude taking the final exam at the scheduled time, students who file petitions accompanied by the appropriate written documentation by the February 12 deadline may be granted permission to take a makeup final exam. Approval of such petitions is by no means automatic. Plans for sporting events, travel or work on exam day, etc. do not constitute extraordinary circumstances.
Sample Exams. Sample exams are in the required texts (124 and 125: Koblitz notes, 126: Curjel notes). These exams should help you prepare for your final exam. The final exams are modeled on these exams; the lengths of the exams and the level of difficulty should be about the same. However, since no test can cover every topic in a course, there may be one or two types of problems on the samples that are not on your exam and vice versa.
You will benefit most from the sample exams by using them as practice tests. When you think you know the material, work at the problems on your own, without having the answers in front of you. If you get stuck or are not sure about what you are doing, talk to other students in the course. Use the answers only as a final check on your work. Exchanging ideas about how to work calculus problems is one of the most effective ways to learn the subject.
Length of Exam. The exam is designed so that it can be done in 2 hours. However, you will have 2 hours 50 minutes to complete it.
Working the final exam. At the final exam, you will be given an exam packet which will have the questions on it as well as sufficient space to write out a full and complete solution to each problem. If you find that you cannot complete a problem in the given space, then continue your work on the back of the page, or on the the back of the preceding page. If you continue your work elsewhere, make sure you tell the grader where it is.
Answers with insufficient work shown may not get much credit. Show enough work on each problem for the grader to tell how you obtained your answer. This may also help you get some partial credit if your answer is incorrect or incomplete. You are responsible for making your solutions readable. Using a few words of English may help the grader understand your work. You should show enough work so that a grader can give you partial credit if your final answer is not complete.
Open Book vs. Closed Book. Your professor will tell you whether your class is taking the exam as an open or closed book exam. If it is an open book exam, then he or she will tell you what materials you are allowed to bring to the exam. The grades of students taking the final exam as a closed book test will not be compared to the grades of students taking the final exam as an open book exam.
Calculators. Consult your instructor regarding policies about calculators. Lap top computers are not allowed.
Rulers for Math 126. For the Math 126 final exam you must carry a transparent ruler with metric scale. Vectors, lines, etc. must be drawn with the ruler.
Photo I.D. You may be asked for personal identification that has your photo on it. Whether or not you have a driver's license, such an I.D. can be obtained from the Department of Motor Vehicles. You should also bring your student I.D. to the exam.
The Exam Cover Sheet. Remember to put your name and student number on the cover sheet of your exam. After it is graded, your exam will be kept by your professor or T.A. unless you sign the following statement on the cover sheet: ``I wish to have my exam placed outside my T.A.'s door with my grade written on the inside.'' Caution: If you sign this statement, pick your exam up within a few days. There have been incidents of such exams being stolen.
