The Midterm on October 19th will be in class and will cover sections 4.10 through 6.2 of our book. Scientific calculators will be allowed but nothing else. Bring a photo ID. There will be a seating chart which I will inform you about closer to the exam day.
Here are some recommended review problems:
Chapter 4, pg 308 “Concept Check” problem 10; pg 310 problems 53, 57, 61
Chapter 5, pg 368 “Concept Check” problems 1, 3, 5, 6; True-False quiz 1-6, 11-14; pg 369 exercises: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 21, 27, 33, 37, 43, 45, 47, 51
Chapter 6, pg 406 “Concept Check” problems 1, 2, 3; Exercises: 1, 5, 7, 9, 13, 17, 23
Hi,
We will still have a quiz this week even though the midterm is this week also right?
Just wanted to make sure, thanks! : )

Yes, it will be good practice.

some of us were just wondering if the webwork would be given a later due date due to the first midterm being the next day. it takes a while for webworks to be completed. sometimes our professor last quarter would allow extra time so we can absolutely focus on studying and practicing for the exams. it would be really great!

You make a compelling argument. I’ll push the due date to Monday. But, don’t let this prevent you from getting the second webwork assignment done on time.

If we are able to finish these recommended problems rather easily… is it safe to say that we will most likely do well on the midterm tomorrow?

I wouldn’t want to speculate on such matters. Do you suspect I would recommend problems in order to distract you from what will actually be on the midterm?
Comment by gregknese — October 18, 2007 @ 2:17 pm |
I suppose that’s a college professor’s way of saying, “most likely”.

It seems to me that some of the problems in Chapter 6 require a graphing calculator to see which function is on top and which one is on the bottom. Am I wrong? Will this be the case for the midterm?
Comment by Alex — October 18, 2007 @ 10:47 pm |
If I assigned any of those, it was a mistake on my part. For any kind of problem like that on the midterm you’ll be able to figure out which function’s on top and which is on the bottom.

When do you predict the midterm will be graded by?
Comment by Math 2B Student — October 19, 2007 @ 6:18 pm |
Best case Wednesday. Mediocre case Friday. Worst case Monday.

Since you extended the webworks until Monday, does that mean that it is still due by ll p.m that day?
Comment by Nahal — October 21, 2007 @ 2:14 pm |
Yes it does.

Will you be handing out the midterms tomorrow? Because if you are, I don’t think I will be able to make tomorrow’s class due to family issues due to the recent fires. If I am not able to make the class, how will I know my score?
Comment by Math 2B Student — October 25, 2007 @ 10:14 pm |
I’ll send out the scores. You can get the actual test some other time.
