Meanwhile, sixteen students who completed Exam #3
still need to take the Final Exam. This
exam requires 30 to 60 minutes. The options for doing taking the Final Exam are Thursday,
May 24th, starting at 9:30 AM, and Friday, May 25th,
starting at 9:30 AM, 10:30 AM, 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, or 3:00 PM at the absolute
latest.
For those who still need it, here is a study guide to
help you prepare for the exams: (With
one major change in that I chose to make the Final Exam just 40 multiple-choice
questions all worth double.)
Exam #3 and the Final Exam Study Guide
We have
completed twelve homework assignments, eight pop quizzes, and three exams, for
a total of only 280 points out of 360 for the semester (not counting some bits
of extra credit that also have been available).
280 is not quite 78% of the total available
credit. Especially considering that I
throw out the lowest homework and the lowest quiz score, this still leaves
plenty of room to turn a grade around (for better or for worse) by your
performance on the Final Exam.
Homework
and pop quiz averages have straddled across the B and C grade ranges, and the
two exam averages have been around C to C+, which is only slightly lower than
my “average average” of exams over many
semesters. Individual exam scores have
spread more or less evenly between A and F, which is also typical. If you have not scored as well as you would
have liked on the exams, then please review the list of study suggestions in my
syllabus.
