SOME INFORMATION ABOUT FINAL
The final will consist of 15 multiple choice questions (each worth 3pt) and 6
questions that will be hand-graded (5 worth 9pt and 1 worth 10pt).
The last six are the problems you usually meet on midterms. For these
problems you are supposed to show the solution and unsupported answers
will receive minor credits.
The final will be 3 hour exam you should try to use this time wisely.
Let us count how much time you will need. An average multichoice problem
should take 3-4 minutes comparing to a "long" problem which should
take 10-15 minutes to solve. All together it will take about
2 hours 30 minutes and about 30 minutes you will for a break
or to check your solutions. You will not be allowed to leave the room
except for special needs. It could be a good idea to bring a snack with you
so you could give yourself a break. You can try to think what else can
help to keep you in working condition for 3 hours and if this is not
dangerous or illegal you will be allowed to do it.
Thinking about preparation for the final the following advise can be useful.
First you can concentrate on understanding every midterm problem. You can use
midterms of this semester, or midterms from previous semesters, or both.
You can really say that you understood the problem if you change the
numbers in the problem and can solve it in two minutes. After you confident
with midterm problems try to look over homework problems and concentrate on
those which were most confusing.
There will be help sessions and reviews in class. Bring the problems you do not
understand there.
I wish to everyone the best luck on the final.
Remember, the only purpose of the exam is to check
how much you worked during the semester.
