PHY 2049 - Physics 2 with Calculus - Spring 2015
Exams
Exam questions will be taken from a number of sources, including, but not limited to, the textbook, assigned problems, lectures, and past exams. The exam format is multiple-choice using ScanTron sheets. The answer which you bubble in on the ScanTron is the one we grade. If you make an error bubbling in an answer and miss a question, then you do not receive credit for the question. On the other hand, if you guess a question and get it correct even though you did not know how to do the problem, then you get credit for the problem. Each exam has 20 questions and is worth 20 points (0 or 1 point per problem). The mid-term exams are 1 h 50 min, the final --- 2 hours.
Material you must bring to the exam is as follows: pencil(s), pencil sharpener, calculator, a few blank scrap paper sheets. You are also allowed to bring:
one hand-written formula sheet (both sides) for the 1st midterm exam;
one hand-written formula sheets (both sides) for the 2nd midterm exam;
and two hand-written formula sheets (both sides each) for the final exam.
