Exam 2 Due Aug 8 at 1:59am Points 90 Questions 40 Available Aug 4 at 2am - Aug 8 at 1:59am Time Limit 75 Minutes Instructions Welcome to exam 2 This exam will cover all of the material from modules 4,5 and 6 and is worth 25% of your final grade. To prepare for this exam I recommend: 1. Completing Module 6 and taking the module 6 quiz before taking the exam. The exam will cover material from the last 3 modules and the module 6 quiz will alert you to how well you understand the material in module 6. 2. Making a handwritten "cheatsheet" with equations and definitions that you may find difficult to remember to access while taking the exam. (you are welcome to type this as well, you can access any printed materials on the exam). 3. Reviewing your module 4,5 and 6 quizzes. For those portions of quizzes that you struggled with I would recommend going through the practice assignments and extra homework questions for that lesson. If you are interested, I have put together a review sheet: Exam 2 Review Guide.docx (https://asu.instructure.com/courses/150779/files/69693415?wrap=1) The review guide lists concepts that will be on the exam. It is meant to guide your studying by giving you a list of questions to focus on. It is not an exhaustive list, and it should be used in conjunction with practice, perhaps to alert you to what you should review. The exam will be 40 questions and you will have 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete it. Be careful not to spend too much time looking through your notes on a single question as you have 1.875 minutes per question. You will need honorlock functioning to take the exam.
