Studying for the Exams

Here are some things you should study to prepare for the exams.

  • You should be preparing as the semester progresses. Do not wait for the week of the exam.
  • You should read the textbook and do the suggested homework.
  • You should study the class notes.
  • You should study the Additional Problems found on the class notes webpage.
  • You should study the Week in Reviews.
  • You should study the webassign homework.
  • You should study the past common exams. Take an exam as if it was a real exam. Give yourself two hours and do not use notes or a calculator. Then use the solutions to "grade" your practice exam.

    Note: The solutions for past common exams may include methods not taught in class. Using one of these methods may not give full credit when I grade the exam. Ask me if you have questions on any of the methods used on the past common exams.

Online Graphing Sites

Remember that on exams/quizzes you will not be able to use technology. So use these sites wisely.
