Review for Midterm Exam

Available November 13, 12:01 am EST - November 26, 11:59 pm EST

The best way to study for a math test is to do problems – writing out the solution path, and to do it without any study tools. Just reading through a solution path will not help you. You need to do the mental and physical activity to create the brain pathways that help you recall how to solve problems.

You can get those problems from the textbook, homework, quizzes, and the Midterm Exam Review. If you can write out the solutions to the problems without any help then you are pretty prepared for a math test. Pick a few problems from each section of the textbook that we studied.

I also recommend that you review the concepts that we have studied so far this semester and take note of the main concepts. This way you will see the big picture and get a good idea of what might be asked on the test.
In MML, I have posted a Review for the Midterm Exam. If you complete the Review with a score of 75% or better, you earn bonus points for the Midterm Exam.you must complete the review BEFORE you take your Midterm. No bonus points will be awarded for doing the review after you take your Midterm.

The Review is longer than the Exam. But it has at least one problem for each trigonometric concept we have studied.

The Mid-Term Exam is a proctored exam. So make sure that you have an appointment with the IU East Testing Center, Examity or a proctor in your area.. Also, make sure that the proctor has sent the Proctor Agreement Form to me and that I have communicated back to your proctor.
Read the Proctor and Student Instructions posted in Canvas Mid-Term Exam Module.
The Exam is in MML with both short-answer problems and Show My Work problems. Be aware that you only have one submission on this exam.
You may have your calculator -- not an electronic device that has a calculator app in it. So, no smartphones, cell phones, tablets, computer apps or other electronic devices.
If you use an electronic device (like your phone) to create a digital image of your work, your proctor needs to supervise your process.
You may have pencil and paper to write your solution paths.
You may not have any other materials: no notes, no book, no videos, no websites, no persons, no other resources. You may use the formula sheet.
If using Examity you will need to use the equation editor in MML or digital inking. No uploading of pictures - NO SMART DEVICES if using Examity.

Notes & Recordings: Still Available for your study use

I briefly explain the concept and then complete a typical homework problem in detail.
I demonstrate the use of the problem-solution format that I recommend in the presentation of your work. Your work should be neat, professional, and explain your reasoning in the problem solution. Don't assume that your reader knows what you are thinking.
