ASTR 330 (Hamilton)
FINAL EXAM (200 points)
Wednesday, May 21
Details of the Exam
The exam will be given on Wednesday May 21 in CSS 2400 from 1:30pm -
3:30pm. The exam should take less than 2 hours to complete, so you
should have plenty of time. As usual, notes, books, and calculators
are not allowed! The exam format will be similar to Exams II and III:
probably two pages of short answer questions, four or five pages of
the fancy true/false statements, 3 essays, and one problem where you
will need to interpret a graph.
The exam is cumulative and will cover all lecture material and
Chapters 1-18 in the book. We didn't talk about two chapters (16 and
18) in class, although there were a few homework problems on this
material. Accordingly, Chapters 16 and 18 will be on the test, but
they will less emphasized. But the other material since Exam III will be
more heavily weighted.
Review Session
There will be a review session Tuesday, May 20 from 4:00pm - 6:00pm in
CSS 1113. Note the new room - it is in the old wing of the CSS
building. Go in the door closest to the parking garage, up 1/2 flight
of stairs, and to the left. Please bring lots of questions to the
review session! I will also hold extra office hours Friday, May 16
from 1:00 to 2:00pm and 3:00-5:00. Feel free to drop by with
questions! I will also be available for appointments - just email me
or call us to arrange this.
