Final Exam (3 hours, Sat Dec 5): 1300-1600
The final exam will consist of 16 multiple choice questions and 9 free response questions, including one of the proofs in the syllabus; each part is worth 50%.
Bring #2 pencils since the multiple choice portion will be scantron.
ALL students must fill in their name and the blocks for their alpha code, one number per line.
Use PENCILS only; you cannot erase a pen mark. If you need to change your answer, erase the incorrect selection as thoroughly as possible. Unless clearly distinguishable, the system will mark the answers wrong.
Do not doodle, draw, or write on the borders of the scantron. The black tick marks are used by the scanning system and additional marks will result in processing errors.
Do not fold or tear the scantron sheets; again, the system won't process it. If a tear occurs, please ask for a fresh scantron and fill everything out again.
You are only allowed to use a USNA-issued calculator TI36X, but remember that you do not need to write your solutions in a decimal form.
The usage of notes, formula sheets, past HWs, quizzes or exams, books, laptops, and cell phones is not allowed.

If you need extra blank paper, please let LCDR Andy Forisha know.
When you are done, please take a photo of all of your pages, including the multiple choice portion, and upload them to Google Classroom using the Google Classroom app or website. If you cannot access Google Classroom, email all the pages to me. Make sure that your photos do not cut off parts of your solutions, and that they are not blurry. Please make sure that the photos are of decent resolution so that I can zoom-in to read your solutions more clearly.
Turn-in the exam packet and the scantron to LCDR Forisha.
Good luck, and have a safe and enjoyable winter break!
