MA 11100 FINAL EXAM Memo Tuesday, December 15th, 2009, 1:00 PM Location: Lambert FieldHouse 1) Every student has an assigned seat in Lambert FieldHouse. Please know your row and seat when you arrive. If you do not know your seat assignment prior to the exam, please email your instructor. Attendance will be taken. The MA 11100 classes are at the back of the FieldHouse. The row number refers to the row in your instructor’s section. For example, row 2 would mean the second row in that section. Sections will be marked by signs displaying the instructor’s name. Seats are numbered from the middle aisle. Seat 1 is on the middle aisle and seat 14 or 15 will be at the outside. 2) The final exam is cumulative and covers every lesson and all topics covered during the semester. 3) There are 30 multiple-choice problems on the exam. The exam will be machine graded. No partial credit will be given. Double check answers before turning in your scantron (answer sheet). Also, you will be asked to circle the answers on your exam. Unlike previous exams, you will turn in both the exam and the scantron. Do not walk out with the exam. 4) The exam is twice as long as regular exams. Therefore, you will have twice as much time, 120 minutes. The time pressure on students to finish the exam in the two hours is little different than what you have experienced on the midterm exams. The majority of students will easily be finished well before the allotted 2 hours is over. 5) The exam is self-explanatory. No questions will be allowed unless a student believes there is a typographical or printing error. 6) The following are appropriate review problems. • The PRACTICE QUESTIONS FOR THE FINAL (Semester Review Problems) found on the course web site (www.math.purdue.edu/ma11100) under ‘resources’. These problems are a ‘must’. Please print these off and take with you to the class semester review session (last day of class). The answers are provided on the last page of the problems. • All of the old exams; those on the webpage and those used this semester. • All of the previous review problems given during this semester on the exam memos. (All of this semester’s exam memos are still on the web page, so you can find the review problems on each memo.) The answers to these problems are found in the back of the textbook. Information continued on the next page• The following problems can be used for review of topics covered since the third exam: Chapter 7 review problems, p. 494: 5, 7, 11, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 24, 25, 31, 34, 36, 37, 44, 46, 47 Chapter 8 review problems, p. 574: 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18 Answers are found at the back of the textbook. • Any of the online homework problems. To review these problems go to the gradebook; click on the review link at the right of each assignment. (You may have to click on ‘similar example’ in order to generate a problem for you to try. Note: Reworking these problems will not change your score.) Note: This link through the gradebook will only work if you opened up the assignment and tried at least 1 problem, not if you received a zero on the assignment. Another way to review using coursecompass is to go through the study plan link. Select the chapter and lesson, then problem numbers. Use the problem numbers that are on the assignment sheet. 7) Students need to know the formulas for the perimeter and area of a rectangle or triangle, the distance formula (d = rt), the slope formula, and the simple interest formula ( I = prt). Formulas given on the exam are the quadratic formula, slope- intercept form, and point-slope form. 8) Students must bring a PHOTO ID with them to the exam. It is recommended that students arrive about 15 minutes early. 9) Students arriving after 45 minutes will be allowed to take the make-up (alternate) final. If they arrived late for a non-valid reason, a grade penalty will be applied. 10) Students who have another exam scheduled at the same time as this exam or students who have three final exams scheduled on that Tuesday, may request to take the MA 11100 alternate final exam. You must see the course coordinator at least by Friday, December 11th to verify the conflict or schedule, so that the coordinator can schedule the alternate for you. 11) A student must contact the course coordinator, Charlotte Bailey, in MATH 802 IMMEDIATELY if some emergency prevents him/her from taking the exam (496-3145). You must contact her in person or by phone. If you send an email explaining the emergency, follow up with a phone call later or see her in person later. Do not leave a phone message. For non-valid reasons, a make-up may be allowed with a grade penalty. Not knowing the right date, time, or location of an exam is NOT a valid reason for missing it. REMINDER: NO calculators, scrap paper, or books are allowed on this
