Exam 2 will be on Monday, November 17 6:30-7:55pm.

Room assignments are as for Exam 1, by the section for which you are registered:


         Sections 1 and 3 (Hong) . . . . Remsen 1 (left side)

	 Sections 2 and 7 (Lee). . . . . Remsen 1 (right side)

	 Sections 4, 5, 6 (Tinaglia) . . Remsen 101
Here, "left side" and "right side" refer to the seats as viewed from the front.

There will be a 5 point penalty for taking the exam in the wrong place.

Bring your J-Card for identification.

I will need to hear about all legitimate conflicts you may have with this time.
By this, I mean that I will need to know your name, section number, and the
precise nature (e.g., course name and number) and time interval of the
conflicting event by 6pm Friday, November 14.
Legitimate conflicts include a scheduled class or lab, or participating in a varsity sports event.

My experience is that conflicts of 45 minutes or less can be accommodated rather easily.

Students requiring special accommodation should see me again, between now and Nov 14.

As described in the syllabus, the exam covers the material from Weeks 5-9 of the course.

Students ask various questions about the exam. I usually decline to answer questions about whether
certain items will be on the exam. One thing that's fair to ask, I think, is how much of the
physics will be tested on the exam. There will be no questions on the physics on Exam 2.

I will hold review sessions in the lecture room during our class time, to answer questions
about the material of those five weeks.
The review session for the 11 o'clock lecture will begin at 11:10.

In 1997, I was talking to a student who was a Student Council representative on the
Curriculum Committee of the School of Arts and Sciences. As a biology major, he had taken
110.107 (Calculus II for Bio Sci), and he told me that he used my 110.109 (Calculus II for Phys Sci)
exams to study for the exams in his course.

He told me something like, "You have a reputation for giving hard exams.
However, I disagree; the exams are straightforward if you know what you're doing."

That is exactly how my exams are intended. It doesn't take great inspiration
to solve the problems. It only requires reasonable command of the material.

Just answer the questions that are asked. It may help to follow the instructions.

----------

You are strongly advised to work out new problems to prepare for the exam. Going over the
old assigned problems may help, but you will be asked to do mostly new ones on the exam.
Overall, the aim is to learn methods, not problem types.
Also, keep in mind that nobody will be telling you which chapter each exam problem comes from.

Here is the exam I gave last year; this year's will be different. Click here.
