Final Exam December, 2007
The syllabus indicates that the final exam will
have two parts. In what follows I will refer to
these parts as the Comprehensive part and Test 4.
The Comprehensive part counts 25 of your grade.
Test 4 counts as the last of the four tests and
the lowest grade of the four tests will be
dropped. The Comprehensive part will have a
smaller percentage of conceptual multiple choice
questions than the tests and more focus on
problem solving. It is important to note that
material from Chapters 12, 13, 14 and 15 will
also be on the Comprehensive part. It should be
noted that problem 4 will count 10 in the
Comprehensive part and also 10 in Test 4. The
following is a tentative format for the final,
but I may decide to adjust the percentages. Compre
hensive 4 problems (10 each)
40 17 Multiple Choice (3.53 each)
60 Test 4 12 Multiple Choice
(5.83 each)
70 Free-form problem 4 (from
Comprehensive) 10 Free-form
problem 5
20 So each part of
the final will total 100. There will be a
total of 5 free-form problems and 29 multiple
choice. The Test 4 multiple choice will be
marked on the back of the scantron starting with
number 51.

• Since no recitation problems were assigned for Ch
  14, there will be no free-form problems from that
  chapter, however there could be numeric multiple
  choice questions from the equations for
  conduction and radiation.
• The equation list for the final is on the last

  Form 8000 or Scantron 882-E).
• Students arriving late are not guaranteed extra
  time. Those arriving after students have started

The Comprehensive part of the exam will cover
major topics from all 15 chapters. I said in
class that there will be a problem on the
Comprehensive part from the topics from each of
the four tests, but I wish to retract this
statement since Test 1 did not cover as much
material as the other tests. The following
minor topics will not be on the Comprehensive
part of the final satellite motion, universal
gravitation, impulse, Archimedes principle,
stability and balance, Pascals principle, and
the pendulum.
