1 Physics 222, Winter 2012 Final Exam April 16, 2012 Instructor: Scott Bergeson Rules for this test 1. This test is open book and open notes, including our class notes page online, and your homework solutions. You may not otherwise use the internet, another textbook, materials from a previous year, a friend or neighbor, another scientist or student, or any similar source to search for answers or information regarding this test. 2. This test is timed. All tests are due back to Dr. Bergeson by 5:30 pm, April 16, Because the test is timed and because all questions have equal weight, you should look through the test first and answer all of the easy questions that you already know. Then go back and work on the other ones. But remember to do the easy ones first. 4. You may use a calculator. You may also use the plotting capabilities or symbolic solution capabilities of computer programs like Maple, Mathematica, Matlab, or other similar applications. 5. You may find a quiet place to work this test. It can be our classroom or some other place on campus. Please remember to hand the exam in on time. 6. You may not discuss anything on this test with anyone except for Dr. Bergeson until Monday, April 16, 2012, after 5:30 pm. 7. Be sure to write your name on your bubble sheet. 8. I will only grade answers written on the bubble sheet. 9. There is no partial credit for questions on this test. 10. Thank you for an enjoyable semester. I have enjoyed teaching the class and getting to know you all a little better. Best wishes in your future studies! 11. Please read and sign this statement below. I have read and will comply with the rules for this test. (your signature here)
