Exam 1 will be on Wednesday Oct 15. The time of the exam will
be 6:30-7:55 PM. Bring your J-Cards for identification.
I will need to hear about all conflicts with the exam time by 5 PM
Friday Oct 10.
To be honored,
your conflict must be of an acceptable nature, i.e., a scheduled course or
lab,
participation in a varsity event, religious obligations.
Sending an e-mail to zucker@math.edu (copy to the TA) is the best
means of communication. Give your name and
specify the conflicting event (e.g., course number and title) and its
starting and ending times.
My experience is that in almost all cases where the duration of the event
is not too long, conflicts can be accommodated
rather easily. In the case of a lab, you can help by trying to reschedule
it.
For more difficult cases, ....
If you have a documented disability or other special need that requires
accommodation, I likewise need prior confirmation from Academic Advising by
2 PM
Friday Oct 12.
The exam will be held concurrently with the 110.201 exam in the large
auditorium Remsen 1 (in the basement of the old Chemistry
Building). Don't worry, your exam will be more challenging.
As described in the syllabus, the exam covers the material from Weeks 1-4 of
the course.
Specifically, that's: Chapters 1-2. I'll say something in lecture.
I will hold a review session in our lecture room during our class time on
Oct 15, to answer
questions about the exam material.
Here are the links to Exam 1, 2007.
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 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 or section each exam problem comes from.
