Lesson 7 (Wed 10/3): Review for Exam I ***
Preparing for a college exam (4 study sessions): First 1-2 hours: quickly look through your old notes and homework. Mark down anything that confuses you and email me! (sormani at comet.lehman.cuny.edu). It may be an extra topic not on the exam. Next two hours: do the following examples as if they were problems on an exam (do not look at your notes). Then check your answers. Third study session: study everything you got wrong when you tested yourself and again you can email me with questions. This study session could be long or short depending on how you did on the practice. The night before the exam: look over this list of review problems again focussing on 1.1-1.6 and get plenty of sleep. When you are asleep you are processing knowledge. Without sleep, you will forget what you learned and also have a higher chance of making stupid mistakes. Aim for a perfect score!

Lesson 26 (Wed 12/12): Review for the Final ***
Schedule three 2 hour study sessions before taking the practice final:
Study Session I: Go over Exams I and II and study the problems you got wrong. Then try similar problems from the homework and examples in the textbook. Review the examples recommended above each exam. Make sure you have memorized how to compute sine and cosine functions using the unit circle and know sin(30), sin(45), sin(60) etc. Study adding vectors and finding their magnitudes and unit vectors.
Study Session II: Memorize the addition formulas and memorize the law of sines and cosines. Practice the following examples:
5.1/2,5,8, 5.2/4,5, 5.3/1,2, 5.4/1,4,6a, 5.5/1,4, 6.1/1,4,5, 6.2/1
Study Session III: Next memorize the laws for exponentials and logs and then practice the following examples:
3.1/2,3,7,8, 3.2/4,7,9 3.3/3,4,5,6 3.4/3,7,8,9,10
Credit Card Project/Example 1,
Inverses of Exponentials and Logs Project/Example
If there is a formula you have difficulty memorizing practice rederiving it.
Then take the Practice Final as a two hour exam.
Lesson 27 (Mon 12/17): Review Sample Final Study key points you had difficulty with. Get plenty of sleep before the final.
