1) Quiz 2 Logistics
Quiz 2 will take place on Tuesday, November 4 from 2:05 to 3:55 PM (i.e., the regularly-scheduled class hours) in Walker Memorial (50-340).
- The quiz covers content from lectures and recitations up to (and including) October 23 and Homework 8.
- The quiz will be administered on paper, so be sure to bring a pencil. (We'll have spare pencils on hand, but probably not enough for everyone.)
- You may use two 8.5"-by-11.0" pages (four sides in total) of handwritten notes.
- To prepare for the quiz, we recommend that you review content from the relevant lectures, recitations, and homeworks; prepare your sheet of handwritten notes; and take the practice quiz under authentic quiz conditions. (Print out the quiz and take it in a quiet environment where you can focus. Time yourself. Use only your handwritten notes as a reference.)
2) Review Sessions and Resources
There will be a quiz review during the usual recitation time (3:00 to 4:00 PM) on October 30. There will be an additional two-hour-long problem-solving session on Sunday, November 2 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM in 4-370.
