More Help for Final
Thu 07May2009 1:26AMI hope your finals are going well!
Some students asked me to collect the summary of each lecture and place it in one file. It took a while but it's done now and I posted it with the lectures. I hope it helps.
Remember the Universe is beautiful! Good luck with the final! Go for the A!
Preparing for the final
Sat 02May2009 12:13PMThank you for being a brilliant class! It was a privilege to teach you. Your performance on
midterm 1 and 2 was awesome- go for the A!
The final is Saturday May 9 at 8 a.m. - 10 a.m. in Elliott Hall of Music
The final has 80 questions and covers the entire course with about
half of the questions on material since midterm2: chapters 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, and 23.
Questions 1-48 and 78-80 on the 2008 final are representative of questions
on these chapters.
The remaining questions are from the materilal covered in midterm
1 and midterm 2: chapters 1, 4, 5, 6, 14, 15, and 16
Chapter 21 and 24 are not on the exam.
The best way to prepare is
