Have a great summer!
Grading of the finals has commenced. I hope to have everything finished by the end of the week, and will holding office hours on Friday from 1-3 PM if you'd like to come by and see your exam. I will be updating the grade record, too, so you will be able to check your final exam results with that.
There is no class on Friday. Instead, I will be holding office hours from 9:30 to 2:30. Feel free to stop by with questions, or just hang out and soak up the atmosphere.
There has been some confusion about the final exam location. The room is A102 in the Physics Astronomy Building. This is an auditorium, and is listed as being in a separate building on the campus map: PAA. This is on the south side of the Physics Astronomy Building proper, which has no auditoriums.
Please allow plenty of time to get to the exam early in case you have an difficulty finding the room.
Here is a review sheet for the course, covering all chapters covered, with suggested problems from each chapter.
Here is a set of practice problems for the final exam, with answers. In addition to assigned homework problems and final exams from the archive, these problems are good practice.
Here are the answers to midterm 2.
Here is the grade record with estimated current course grade.
Your grade information is listed under the last four digits of your student id number. Be sure to check that your scores have been recorded correctly. If you find an error, please bring it to the attention of your TA right away. Included is also an estimated course grade. This includes the course curve, and the dropping of your lowest homework score. Obviously it does not include the final exam: that can have a very large impact on your actual course grade
Here are some stats for the second midterm:
| n | 121 |
| 1st quartile | 26 |
| median | 33 |
| 3rd quartile | 38 |
| max | 40 (18 people!) |
I'll be posting a grade record soon with an estimated current course grade.
Here is a review sheet for the second midterm exam.
Here is an applet that might help you get a feel for sinusoidal functions.
Here are the statistics for the first midterm exam.
| n | 148 |
| 1st quartile | 10 |
| median | 16 |
| 3rd quartile | 23.25 |
| max | 40 (2 people) |
Here's how to interpret your score.
If you got 10 or less, you should seriously consider dropping the course. Chances are quite high that you will fail this course (i.e., get a grade of 0.0).
If you got 11-20, you need to work on improving your understanding of the material, and improve your skills. Please make use of all resources (including my office hours!) so you can do as well as you can.
If you got 21-30, that's a decent, solid score. Keep up your hard work.
If you got above 30, you are doing very well. Good job!
If you have any questions about the course (including questions homework problems or the grading of homework or exams) please visit my office hours. They are listed on the page linked on the left under my name.
