We did section s 7.7, 8.9, 9.1 and 9.2 in class today. This material will be on next week's exam. Fire up!
We'll get a calculator and a page of notes for the exam. My suggestion is to use generating the page of notes as a study method - write everything down you think might be an important reminder, and then distill and rewrite until you get one page of useful information.
I'll post a practice exam here to the blog tonight - you'll see it Sunday morning, I imagine. I'll post a link to the key sometime Wednesday (look for it Thursday morning at the latest) - I expect to publish it to Google docs and provide a link to where it lives, because right now the key's over 10 pages). Good luck!
When we come in next week we'll start with a few minutes for questions, and then the rest of the morning for the exam. In the afternoon we'll cover the first section from chapter 10, and the first section from chapter 11 - for the rest of the term we'll do a couple of sections from chapters 9, 10, and 11 so we don't load up too much on any one subject in a day. That way we can ask questions before moving towards the next bit of stuff in each chapter. You'll see - it'll be fine.
In two weeks we'll do a few more sections from the chapters in the morning, and then reserve some time to redo/fix the exams in the afternoon for partial credit.
Here is some homework:
7.7: 1 - 41 EOO (or every odd for more practice with these - they're tricky!)
8.9: 1 - 41 EOO
9.1: 1 - 101 EOO
9.2: 15 - 125 all that end in 5 (add to this all that end in 9 for more practice)
And look for the practice exam late late tonight. See you next week!
