Hourly Exams
The below chart indicates the sections scheduled to be covered
on each of the three hourly exams.
The precise date will be announced (at least
one week in advance) as it nears.
Basically, I do not
believe in giving an exam before the material of the exam is appropriately covered in lectures
and there is adequate recitation/SI time for your practice with the material.
You can approximate an exam date by assuming about one section per lecture day and then add the
needed days to ensure those sections are covered in reciatition/SI.
| Exam | Sections covered | Date
|
---|
Exam 1 | 8.1 - 8.5 and 8.7 - 8.8 | TBA
| Exam 2 | 10.1 - 10.6 | TBA (looking like Th. before or Tue after Spring Break)
| Exam 3 | 10.7-10.10 and part of Ch 11. | TBA
|
