READ THIS ENTIRE PAGE NOW, BEFORE THE HALF-HOUR BELL.
Do not open the exam before the half-hour bell.
You will have 50 minutes after the bell to complete the examination.
Exam papers will no longer be accepted after 55 minutes have elapsed.
Print and sign your name, and write your student ID number and the number of your seat in the spaces on this page (above).
Write your name and student ID number on your bubble sheet, and fill in the corresponding "bubbles" using dark pencil marks.
During the exam:
Important! When the exam begins, print your name and student ID number at the top of each and every page. Do this first when you are told to open your exam.
If you are confused about a question, raise your hand and ask for an explanation.
If you cannot do one part of a problem, move on to the next part.
This is a closed book examination. You may have one sheet of paper (standard notebook size) upon which you have written useful information.
You may use a calculator, but not a computer or other programmable device.
For multiple-choice problems (those on white paper):
Fill in bubble sheets carefully and darkly. Make no stray marks. If you must erase, erase completely.
Also circle your choices directly on the exam paper for later reference.
For hand graded problems (those on colored paper):
If you need more space than is available to answer any part of a problem, use the back side of the same page to complete your answer. Clearly indicate to the grader that you used the back side. Do not use scratch paper; it will be ignored.
Show your work in enough detail so that the grader can follow your reasoning and your method of solution. Circle your answers, and state units if appropriate. For numerical answers 2 significant figures (e.g., 1.2 s, 6.1x102 m) will be sufficient unless otherwise stated in the problem.
