MAT 125: Calculus 2
Spring 2020
Exam 2 information
1. Notes and materials
Notes are not allowed on exams.
Calculators are not allowed on exams.
You may only use other electronic devices (computer, smart phone) to the extent of following exam logistics (below).2. How to study
Please see tips from last exam.
Practicing by solving problems is much more effective than reading over solutions. There are plenty of review questions in the textbook. Going over homework and correcting mistakes is also a good idea.
3. Exam content
The exam covers everything we have done, up to and including Section 9.3. (Section 9.5 and Chapter 10 will be on the next exam.) While the exam is cumulative, we will focus on what was not already tested. Here are some topics we emphasized since the last exam:- improper integrals: convergence, evaluation, comparison test
- applications: volumes, arc length, density, work, probability, and statistics
- sequences and series: convergence, evaluation
You can also expect to see some straight-up integrals (think Gateway level, not Exam 1 level).
As usual, please note that this document is not a contract. I may have inadvertently left something off that ends up on an exam question. Moreover, I will not be able to test all of this material given the time limitations of the exam. I will have to pick and choose some subset of it.
4. Logistics
Before class time:
- Read this document carefully. Ignorance is not an excuse.
- Prepare enough paper to write on.
- On the first sheet, write at the top an academic integrity statement of your own devising. You should say that you didn't consult any unauthorized resources (textbook, calculators, other sources of help).
- Sign your name after the statement.
At class time:
- The exam will take place during our usual class time.
- Find a PDF of the exam questions on Moodle near the bottom; pull it up on your computer.
- Work things out on notebook/blank paper. You do not need to print out the questions.
- After you are done or the time is up, scan your work and upload to Moodle near the bottom.
- Moodle submission will close 10 minutes after class ends. This affords:
- 70 minutes for the exam
- 10 minutes at the end devoted to scanning and uploading
- Moodle will still accept submissions after the cutoff time, but it will be marked "late."
- If this happens, you should email me ASAP and explain why you were late, and assert that you did not spend any more than 70 minutes working on the exam.
- Summary:
time description 11:10 CDT PDF of exam questions available on Moodle 12:20 70 minutes is up; you should stop working 12:30 deadline for submitting to Moodle
Proctoring:
- I will proctor you via Zoom.
- The link to join the meeting will be on Moodle near the bottom.
- I will start the meeting at least 5 minutes before class time.
- Please turn on your camera but mute your microphone.
- During the exam, don't unmute to talk to me: you will end up talking to everyone else as well.
- If you need to contact me, you can send me a message via the "chat" function in the Zoom meeting.
- Aim the camera at you, not your desk; don't hold up your work for others to see.
- Disconnect from the meeting after you've finished scanning and submitting to Moodle.
- If you cannot connect via Zoom during our class time, please contact me at least 2 days before the exam with a brief explanation, and we'll work on finding an alternative arrangement.
- I will host an optional test Zoom meeting at the beginning of class time 2 days before the exam.
Tips:
- Label your questions clearly, especially if you are doing things out of order (try not to).
- Show your work; box your final answer if appropriate.
- Do not write in columns.
- Even though you are under time pressure, try to write legibly; if I can't read your handwriting, I can't give you credit.
- Make sure your scan is legible. If I can't open your PDF or read your content, I can't give you credit.
