This exam consists of 36 questions all of equal value for a total of 225 points.
Make sure that your test has all of the pages. Please read each problem
carefully. There are no intentionally misleading questions; each problem
should be taken at its face value. Please mark your answers on the Scantron
sheet provided to you and on the actual exam.
You will be given a periodic table and an exam information sheet to use
during the exam. You may remove it from the exam make it more accessible.
You may also use the designated Casio fx-300ms-plus calculator or
equivalent non-programmable non-graphing scientific calculator during the
exam. Use the back pages of the test as scratch paper. You are not allowed to
use any devices capable of accessing the internet, textbooks, notes, or
homemade reference sheets during the exam.
You may leave if you finish the exam early. Give the exam and the
information sheet to your TA and leave quietly without disturbing other
students. Before leaving, check that all your answers have been properly
entered on the Scantron sheet and the exam and that your name is written on
every page of the exam and on the Scantron sheet.
All cell phones and electronic devices must be turned off and put away.
Please remove all hats and caps. Place your books and all papers out of sight
under your seat. If the TA believes that you might be looking at your
neighbors paper, you will be asked to move to a new location.
Exam scores will be posted on Blackboard as soon as the grading is
complete. Your test will be returned to you in the first lab meeting of next
week. If you have any questions regarding the grading of your exam, please
notify your TA.
