Old Exams and Solutions (Fall 2003)
DISCLAIMER: There is no guarantee that your tests will look anything like these!
Old Quiz #1 (Ch.9) --- Solutions (1 hour and 30 minutes)
Old Quiz #2 (Ch.10) --- Solutions (1 hour and 10 minutes)
Old Quiz #3 (Sections 11.1-11.5) --- Solutions (1 hour and 10 minutes)
Old Quiz #4 (Sections 11.6-11.8) --- Solutions (Part 1: 15 minutes, Part 2: 40 minutes)
Old Quiz (Ch.12: Conics) (Spring 2003) --- Solutions
You will be tested on Ch.12 as part of your Final.
Old Quiz #5 (Ch.13) --- Solutions (1 hour)
Note: The Fall 2003 Final was a "short response" 45-point exam. The firestorm forced me to redesign the class. Part 1 of your Final may look something like this. Part 2 of your Final will include additional material, including Chapter 12 (see the old conics quiz above). "Longer response" questions are fair. Your Final will be worth 100 points total. See the Syllabus.
