As a preparation for our first midterm, go to the IPS6e Web Page at
http://www.whfreeman.com/ips6e
and work on the "Online Quizzes" for
Chapter 1 (entirely) & Chapter 2 (related to Sections 2.1, 2.2 & 2.3).
Submit your answers via the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page.
Carefully check which questions you answered correctly and
which questions you answered incorrectly.
As an answer to this RP question, you have to submit
a printout (just the first page is enough), screenshot, or photo taken from your computer screen
that shows your score. You must have a combined score of at least 40 points
(as the sum of your scores for Chapter 1 and Chapter 2) to qualify
for these RP points. You can redo the "Online Quizzes" as many
times as you want. Be warned that our actual
midterm will reuse several of these questions - either as stated in the "Online Quizzes"
or with some minor numerical modifications.
Please refer to
hw01.html
for additional information regarding the RPs.
Note: In each midterm and the final, you will be allowed to use a formula sheet
(1 sheet only, letter size, handwritten, text on both sides). This formula sheet can contain
all useful information such as formulas, definitions, sample calculations, and solutions
or solution outlines (from homeworks, past exams, the Web, etc.).
Your name must appear in the upper right corner.
There is no need to copy tables (such as the normal table)
as those will be provided during the exams when needed.
You will be allowed to add additional information to your formula sheet for each future exam -
or you can fill up your sheet immediately and then create a completely new sheet for each future exam.
Your sheet for Midterm 1 should be related to Chapter 1 (entirely) and
Chapter 2 (Sections 2.1, 2.2 & 2.3).
