1. The Cumulative Final Exam is Tuesday December 8, 2015 from 12:30pm to 3:00pm in LC 412. It covers: § 7.1 - 7.5, 7.8, 11.1 - 11.11, 6.1-6.3, 10.3-10.4. The exam consists entirely of multiple choice problems.
2. On the final, there will be one problem from Chapter 6. You have your choice of either
   • during the exam, doing the one shell method problem on the exam
   or
   • turning in this shell method homework problem by Thursday Dec. 3 and using your score on this homework as your score on the final exam's shell method problem.
3. How is your integration doing? You can start practicing over Thanksgiving Break.
   • You can find the solutions to the homework that was due last Monday (§7.5: 52, 60, 70) by going to the Ch 7 homework page and looking under §7.5 Follow up for the solutions to the whole of the § 7.5 Strategy for Integration, which is an excellent review of integration techniques.
   • On the Previous Exam page, under Fall 2012 Final Exam, is an integration Ch 7 Practice Exam with solutions.
   • Need more in practice? Go back to the 100 integrals posted at the bottom of the Ch 7 homework page.
4. A suggested game plan for studying. Recall I have all my old exams and solutions for this course (going back to 1991) posted on the course homepage so you have lots of resources at hand.
   • Of course, you have already done all the homework for this semester.
   • Each day between NOW and the final, do the following exercise.
     • Do the Course Summary without aids (omit the Alternating Series Esitimation Theorem on page 4 and the Maclaurin series for inverse tan on page 7).
     • Then check your solutions up against the solutions.
     • Use this resource wisely. It is a pro-active do-&-learn worksheet, not a just-read-the-solutions (and don't learn) worksheet.
     This should help point your nose to where you need to concentrate your studies. Although this handout will not explicitly be on the exam, it is implicitly on the exam in that you need to know this worksheet in order to be able to do the multiple choice problems.
   • Work through, without using your notes nor book, one of my previous exams. Take a look at how you did on the exam. Go back and do more homework from the sections you did not do/remember so well. Then try a different previous exam. Keep up this cycle until you have mastered the material.
5. Suggested material from the previous exam webpage to be working through.
   • 14 Spring Final
   • 13 Spring Final
   • 13 Spring SI's review for final
   • 11 Fall Final
   • 10 Spring Final (both in class and take home)
   • 10 Spring Exam 3 take home
6. If you want to (and should do), form a study group and hold Calculus Jam Sessions. Go for it! The Math Dept Student Lounge (LC 311) and the Math Dept Tutor Lab (LC 105) are good places for this. A student once told Prof. Girardi that the "Mezzy" (in Thomas Cooper Library Student Success Center) is also a good place.
7. During the exam, the use of unauthorized materials is prohibited. Unauthorized materials include: electronic devices, books, and personal notes. Unauthorized materials (including cell phones) must be in a secured (e.g. zipped up, snapped closed) bag placed completely under your desk or, if you did not bring such a bag, given to Prof. Girardi to hold for you during the exam (and they will be returned when you leave the exam). This means no electronic devices (such as cell phones) allowed in your pockets. Please, if I forget, remind me to pull up a clock on the projector screen during the exam.
8. Come to the exam well rested.
