Math-305, Exam Information

Dr. Kevin G. TeBeest
Winter 2024



EXAM 2:   Tuesday, Feb 20 (Week 7)
DURING your regular class period

Students are to take the exam at the scheduled time. Late arrivals or early departures forfeit any lost time.

Per the course policy, students with documented disabilities who require special accomodations should make those arrangements a week in advance as stated in the course policy.


I will provide you with this crib sheet (click here) during the exam. Do NOT bring it with you to the exam.

Also read this for the exam Instructions AND for more helpful info about the exam. You will save some time during the exam by reading the Instructions ahead of time.



Students are to take the exam at the scheduled time unless there is a legitimate, unavoidable conflict, in which case other arrangements should be made with the professor well ahead of time.


Many students who perform poorly on exams in MATH-305 tend to fall into one or more of these groups:

  1. Some students work the assigned homework problems (so they know how to use the methods), but they neglect to study concepts (so they score poorly on multiple choice, T/F, and short answer questions).

  2. Some students study concepts (so they score well on multiple choice, T/F, and short answer questions), but they neglect to work all the assigned homework problems (so they don't know how to use the methods).

  3. Some students rely too much on "studying" from old exams (a useful tool but it isn't really studying). These students tend to do less homework, fail to understand the concepts, and tend to misread the exam questions. Another danger with this practice is that some exam questions may appear identical to those from previous exams, but there could be slight wording differences that change the meaning of the question or problem.

  4. Some students simply don't do the homework or do some but not all of it.

  5. Some students don't adequately check their work before submitting the exam.

Ask yourself if you fall into one of these groups, and then make changes in your study habits accordingly.
Perhaps you should read the document, Developing Good Study Habits.
