FINAL EXAM INFORMATION: WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 3:30-5:30 pm

Because of the short time until final grades are required in the College Office, there will be no "hand-graded" questions.  The test will consist of 17 multiple choice questions (@ 5 points each) and 10 true/false questions (@1.5 points each). 

The exam will range over all the material, but with extra emphasis on material not tested on Exam III. ( Approximately 40 points on the test will be on material following Exam III. )

As in the past, you may have a single 3x5 notecard with whatever notes you need.  You may have a calculator--without a computer algebra system (CAS).

There will be two optional review sessions available prior to the final on 4:30-6 Monday and Tuesday (May 5 and 6) in Cupples I, room 215.  Rather than have a "free-for-all" each day over the whole course,  we'll try to restrict the chapters up for discussion each day:

      1) Monday: Chapters 5 (and section 6.1) and 7  (same order as they were covered 
                       in the syllabus)
      2) Tuesday: Chapters 6 (from Section 6.2 onward) and 8

In addition, feel free to visit the office hours of any of the instructors on Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday 5/5-7.

                                                 Tu 11-12 (and possibly after 3:30--check by e-mail)

See the link "resources for Help" below for Calculus Help Desk hours during the time before the final exam.

Solutions to the final will be posted at the bottom of the "Daily Reading" page in the syllabus.  They should be available later in the evening after the exam ends.
