Final Exam Information:
The final exam will be held on Saturday, March 15, from 1:30 to 4:20 p.m. in
SMITH 205. Please read the instructions on
the exam cover sheet. In particular, please note the instruction
to show all of your work and the list of integrals that you are allowed
to cite without justification.
Announcements:
- Announced 3/21/2008: Here are the
final grades.
Please read the following very carefully before e-mailing
me with question:
- Students are listed by the last 4 digits of their student ID numbers.
Any leading zeroes are omitted. So, for example, if your student ID is 510001,
then your ID is listed as 1, rather than 0001.
- All of your homework scores and worksheet scores are listed.
However, I have dropped the lowest scores in the compuation of your grade.
Once again, you will see ALL of your homework and worksheet scores listed
but I PROMISE I have dropped your lowest scores.
- I do not "curve" individual exam scores, but I have "curved" the
overall grades based on your total percentages.
- If any of your scores has been incorrectly recorded, please make
arrangements to show me the
graded item after the start of Spring Quarter.
I cannot change any scores without seeing the
graded assignment.
- The median on Exam I was a 49/60 and the mean was a 48/60.
- The median on Exam II was a 35/50 and the mean was a 34/50.
- The median on the Final Exam was a 70/100.
- I keep all of my final exams for one full quarter, but you are welcome
to stop by my office to take a look at your final. You can come in at the
beginning of Spring Quarter to see your exam. If you'd like to have your exam
to keep, stop by at the end of Spring Quarter.
- Have a great Spring Break!
- Announced 3/14/2008: Sorry it's taken me so long to post these, but
here are hints and answers for Exam II.
- Announced 3/11/2008: Here is Dr. Loveless'
review of the most recent material we've covered. You may
also want to scroll down on this page to find his other reviews for the
midterm exams.
- Announced 3/7/2008: Here are the
grades.
Please read the following very carefully before e-mailing
me with question:
- Students are listed by the last 4 digits of their student ID numbers.
Any leading zeroes are omitted. So, for example, if your student ID is 510001,
then your ID is listed as 1, rather than 0001.
- All of your homework scores and worksheet scores are listed.
However, I have dropped the lowest scores in the compuation of your grade.
- Since, at the end of the
quarter, 80% of your grade will be based on your exam scores, I have
weighted your each of your midterm scores as 40% of your grade to
compute this estimated grade.
- I do not "curve" individual exam scores, but I have "curved" the
overall grades based on your total percentages.
- If any of your scores has been incorrectly recorded, please show the
graded item to your TA. We cannot change any scores without seeing the
graded assignment.
- The median on Exam I was a 49/60 and the mean was a 48/60.
- The median on Exam II was a 35/50 and the mean was a 34/50.
- I do not give extra credit. The way to improve your grade is to
do as well as you possibly can on the final exam.
- Announced 3/3/2008: I had the wrong date on the homework schedule for HW 6. It's due on Wednesday, like usual, March 5.
- Announced 2/25/2008: Again, Dr. Andy Loveless put together this fantastic
Exam II Review.
There are two errors/corrections that need to be noted for the review sheet:
- Work to Lift a Cable should be from x=0 to x=b (instead of x=a to x=b). Please look back at the in class notes and examples for a review of this.
- For Partial Fractions (7.4) there are "three cases you must know": distinct linear, non-distinct linear, and irreducible quadratic.
- Announced 2/21/2008: Exam II will be held in quiz section on Thursday,
February 28. It will cover work, average value, techniques of integration,
approximate integration, improper integrals, and arc length.
Please bring a scientific calculator (no graphing calculators) and one
sheet of handwritten notes. To get an idea of the length and difficulty
of the exam, you may want to attempt
this
exam from Spring 2003. I highly suggest doing as much of this exam
as possible on your own, using only your sheet of notes, before checking
your work against
the solutions. In addition, since this midterm doesn't cover improper
integrals and arc length, you should try #9 from the Winter 2004 Final Exam
and #11 from the Spring 2004 Final Exam. (Both of these exams can be found
in your course pack or here.)
- Announced 2/15/2008: Here are the hints
and partial solutions to the sheet of integrals I handed out in class today. Enjoy!
- Announced 2/10/2008: Here are the
grades.
Please read the following very carefully before e-mailing
me with question:
- Students are listed by the last 4 digits of their student ID numbers.
Any leading zeroes are omitted. So, for example, if your student ID is 510001,
then your ID is listed as 1, rather than 0001.
- All of your homework scores and worksheet scores are listed.
However, I have dropped the lowest scores in the compuation of your grade.
- Estimating grades at this point in the quarter is difficult
since we have so few grades to go on. Since, at the end of the
quarter, 80% of your grade will be based on your exam scores, I have
weighted your first exam score more heavily than homeworks and quizzes to
compute this estimated grade.
- If any of your scores has been incorrectly recorded, please show the
graded item to your TA. We cannot change any scores without seeing the
graded assignment.
- The median on Exam I was a 49/60 and the mean was a 48/60.
- I do not give extra credit. The way to improve your grade is to
improve your scores, especially on exams.
- Announced 1/29/2008: Dr. Andy Loveless put together this fantastic
Exam I Review. This covers, in chronological order, all the topics
we've done so far. Make sure that you've practiced doing problems from
each of these sections.
- Announced 1/28/2008: Exam I will be held in quiz section on Thursday,
January 31. It will cover everything we've done in the course so far.
Please bring a scientific calculator (no graphing calculators) and one
sheet of handwritten notes. To get an idea of the length and difficulty
of the exam, you may want to attempt
this
exam from Autumn 2003. I highly suggest doing as much of this exam
as possible on your own, using only your sheet of notes, before checking
your work against
the solutions.
- Announced 1/11/2008: In homework 1, Section 5.1, #22, just do part (a).
