1 Final Exam – June 18, 2009 The syllabus indicates that the final exam will have two parts. In what follows I will refer to these parts as the Comprehensive part and Test 4. The Comprehensive part counts 25% of your grade. Test 4 counts as the last of the four tests and the lowest grade of the four tests will be dropped. The Comprehensive part will have fewer conceptual multiple choice questions than the tests and more focus on problem solving. It is important to note that material from Chapters 10, 13, 14 and 15 will also be on the Comprehensive part. The following is a tentative format for the final, but I may decide to adjust the percentages. Comprehensive 15 Multiple Choice (3.73% each) = 56% 4 problems (11 % each) = 44% Test 4 Free-form problem # 4 (from Comprehensive) = 11 % Free-form problem # = 22% 12 Multiple Choice (5.58 % each) = 67 % It should be noted that problem 4 will count in the Comprehensive and also Test 4. I am doing this to cut down on the time required for Test 4. It is likely that there will be a problem on the Comprehensive part from the topics for each of the four tests. So each part of the final will total ≈100%. There will be a total of 5 free-form problems and 27 multiple choice. The Test 4 multiple choice will be marked on the back of the scantron starting with number 51.
2 Final Exam – June 18, 2009 The sections covered on the previous tests are listed on the website. The Test 4 part of the final covers the sections below: Chapter 10: Sections 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 (note that 10-3 is added) Chapter 13: Sections 10, 11 Chapter 14: Sections 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 Chapter 15: Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 These sections will also be on the Comprehensive part. The equation list for the final is on the final page. Please bring the proper scantron and be on time. Students arriving late are not guaranteed extra time. Those arriving after students have finished will not be permitted to take the test. You must bring a photo ID to the final– it will be checked as you leave.
3 Archimedes principle will be on Test 4 but not the Comprehensive.The Comprehensive part of the exam will cover major topics from all 15 chapters. The following minor topics will not be on the Comprehensive part of the final: satellite motion, universal gravitation, impulse, Archimedes principle, stability and balance (9-4), Pascal’s principle, and the pendulum. Archimedes principle will be on Test 4 but not the Comprehensive. You will be given the whole exam at the start. You will need to be careful how you allocate your time.
