CH 2113 Class Assignment

So, who would like to know what was on the final exam?

This assignment has a number of parts. First you need to go over the end of chapter questions from the textbook (Chap. 2 - Chap. 8) and select one question from each chapter that you think is a good question. A good question would be one where the answer is not trivial, it requires thought to answer and covers at least one important principle taught in the chapter. The question may be from the syllabus set but may be any other end of chapter question.

Then log onto the comments section of this blog and state your selection. Your comment should include a statement of the chapter and question and a short reason why you think it would be a good exam question. Then read the other students comments as they come in and re-post if you change your mind.

Ultimately the class should agree on one question from each chapter that meets the criteria. At least two questions should be on synthesis.

Your mark on the assignment will be out of 20 and 10/20 will be my assessment of how well the final set of questions meets the criteria (all students that participate will get the same mark). The remaining 10/20 will be a participation mark assessed by the nature and quality of your own contributions to the discussion.

The payoff? I will select one of the seven questions from your list for the first question on the final exam and it will have a value of 10%. I reserve the right to make minor changes to the question but you will be able to recognize it.

The deadline for the final class list of questions will be midnight, Sunday, December 3. All students must make a contribution to the discussion by Sunday, November 26.
