Second Hour Exam Information
The second Math 8 exam will be held Monday, November 8 from 4 - 6 pm.
Arkowitz's section will be in Cook Auditorium (Murdough Center);
Shemanske's will be in Filene Auditorium (Moore Hall).
The exams for both sections are identical, but seating in Filene is
limited. Please go to the room according to the section in which
you are registered. If in doubt, check the official list.
Note: Those people (and only those people) with labs or other classes whose normal class times overlap with our scheduled exam period, may take the Math 8 exam from 7 - 9 pm in Silsby 123 (on the same day). You should arrive promptly. Please notify your instructor if you are in this situation.
Finally, if you will be away for a College-sponsored activity, you
should speak to your instructor to see if you can arrange to take the
exam prior to your departure. There are no makeup exams.
The exam covers all material from Assignment
10 through Assignment 18.
The exam is designed so that well-prepared students can complete the exam
in one hour, however you will be given two hours for the exam which should
eliminate time pressure considerations for all students.
Please arrive by 3:45 pm to allow ample time to get seated, settled,
and exams distributed by 4:00. Since seating in Filene is limited,
please take seats leaving exactly one empty seat between you and your
neighbor(s). Seating in Cook is more flexible, but there should be at
least one empty seat between you and your neighbor(s).
Naturally, bring writing implements; pens or (sharpened)
pencils are fine. Scrap paper will be attached to each exam; you may
not use your own. Calculators may be used for numerical work
or graphing if you like, but under no circumstances are they to be
used in any other way, e.g., to store information, run programs,
symbolic manipulation. They are certainly not required, nor should
they be of much use. Except in trivial cases or when requested,
answers need not be simplified and more importantly, answers need to
be exact. For example, someone saying the answer to a problem is
1.414213562 instead of the correct answer of sqrt(2) is wrong, and
will lose credit accordingly. There will be a Question and
Answer session on Sunday (November 7), starting at 7pm in Filene
Auditorium (Moore Hall).
Sample questions will be available via the Math 8 home page by the end of the week. |

Do: the problems on the homework supplement distributed in class. (If you didn't pick up a copy in class, you can download this copy to your hard disk, and drag it onto your desktop printer icon. If you are printing to a postscript printer (e.g. a Kiewit printer), choose the postscript version, otherwise choose the pdf version. The pdf version will probably print in all cases, and is viewable via Acrobat Reader. There are notes about handling pdf files in the Maple notes which you are to read below.) |
