Physics 212 Spring 2012

 

FINAL EXAM DATES NOW SET
Combined:Fri May 4 1:30 - 4:30 pm
Conflict:Fri May 118:00 - 11:00 am

Source: the registrar's final exam page, which has finals schedules for all your classes.

Conflict Exam Rules: read points (5) and (6) of the student code - final exam section.

  • Point (5) describes the important max-2-in-24hr rule: no student can be required to take three exams in a 24 hour period. Please read this important rule so you know your rights!
  • There is a strict order of precedence that determines which courses have to offer you a conflict exam if you have a scheduling collision (including the 2-in-24 rule). As Phys 212 runs a "combined" final and has a very large number of students, it is usually last in this order, i.e. you will take our conflict exam, not that of smaller classes.
  • You are free to sign up for our conflict sitting even if you don't have a scheduling conflict, it's up to you. However you may not do this if it would force another course to give you a conflict exam that they have not otherwise scheduled (i.e. a smaller course that is higher in the precedence order than 212, as described above).
    [Changed Monday afternoon, previous info was inaccurate]
Finally, if you do have a final exam scheduling collision and it is unclear even after reading these rules which conflict exam to take, email the instructors from all of the courses involved at the same time so that they can work out among themselves who will give you a conflict sitting.

EXAM PREPARATION

We have assembled some old exam questions for you to use in preparing for the hour exams.  We suggest you try to do these problems.  If you get stuck, you can click on a link that will present the solution to the problem. 

Exam 1 Preparation Exercises

Exam 2 Preparation Exercises

Exam 3 Preparation Exercises (except lenses)

We have also put together some narrated "Worked Examples"

If you miss a physics 212 activity due to illness or other University approved reason, you need to complete the following form and bring it, along with the appropriate documentation, to 233 Loomis. Make sure you read the Course Description for important details on our policies for missed work.
