You will not need a calculator for this exam.
You may work with your lab book only. All writing must be in your lab book. You may not have any other papers stuffed into your lab book. At the end of the exam you may take your lab book home or turn it in to me to keep as a model for next year's students.
When you are finished with your exam you should turn it over on your desk and read quietly until you are excused. Do not bother others who may still be working.
Part 1: Short Answer
In this section of the test you will be asked questions from the labs that we completed this year. You may look in your lab book for answers. Some questions will be based upon the discussion questions from this year's labs. Some questions may ask you to think in new ways about your data. An organized notebook will be the key!
See lab handouts for ideas of discussion questions.
