Study Tips for Midterm Preparation:
- Review the study guide Goals for the Study Guide Lessons mentioned above
and be sure you have achieved them.
- Review all the suggested and assigned homework and make sure you understand the strategy
for solving each problem. In many cases you should be able to just review
mentally the method you would use to solve a problem. You should not need
to write down all the steps.
- Take some time to review the main ideas covered in the text
and in our classroom discussions. Compare and contrast the different approaches
and ways of thinking about the same topic. Decide which way is most natural
for you.
- Form a study group, if you haven't done so already, and practice asking
each other to explain the main ideas covered so far. Ask your study partners
how they think about solving problems that are hard for you.
- Use the midterms and final exams in the back of the text for practice, but don't
expect the final this term to be virtually the same as any old exam.
The old tests in the text have distinct similarities but they
also have distinct differences.
- Make up a practice final yourself using problems from the text and sample exams and exchange such exams with friends in the class.
- The final exam has three questions related to Lessons 1-8 and seven questions related to Lessons 9-17.
