  1. AgendaPhys 121 Common Exam 1 Reviews • Exam overview & mechanics • Solve Sample Exam # 1 (and # 3 if time) (Friday) • Sample Exam # 4 (and # 2 if time) (Saturday) • Other Sample Exams and Problem Sets • Open Agenda if time

  2. Exam Mechanics and Scope • The exam covers Lectures 1 – 4, comprising material in Chapter 21, 22, and some selected material from the introductory lecture (see the course syllabus). • There are 16 multiple choice questions. 100% on the exam means 16 questions answered correctly. Extra credit questions are no longer offered. • Students are expected to show work on the question paper in order to get credit for answering questions correctly. There is otherwise no penalty for wrong answers. • Circle your chosen answers on the test paper as well as on the Scantron sheet. • Use the back of the test paper if you need more room to do scratch work. For long questions, tell the grader to look there. • Bring calculator & #2 soft pencils for marking the SCANTRON forms. • A formula sheet will be provided. It is at the end of the exam package and is identical to the one posted on Janow’s web site. • Turn off cell phones, pagers, laptop computers, any other communication devices or noise makers. • A suggestion: first work the problems you know how to do, then come back and finish the ones that are doubtful. • Be sure to comply with the Honor Code Pledge.
