EXAM 1:  Grades  (link in sidebar)

Covers only material presented in class through Wednesday 1/23.
Multiple choice – YOU must bring a standard mark-sense sheet and pencil or pen. If you forget, the h-bar (cafe across the PAB plaza) sells them.
Questions are similar to quiz questions: easy if you have paid attention in class, and reviewed slides and your notes
Calculators OK, but no books or notes or laptops or phones/pads/netbooks. You do not need a fancy calculator – simplest kind is fine
You will have the full class hour, although the exam should not take very long

Sample questions were shown in class Thursday 1/17 - see slides. Answers in class Tuesday 1/22.
