Final exam periods 1,2

Friday, Dec 16 minimum day

Final exam periods 4,5

Period 1 Final:

  1. 2 parts
  2. Part 1 is IB: not multiple choice, covers IB Book Chaps 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,20,22,23. One hour
  3. Part 2 is Stats, multiple choice, covers Stats book chapters 1-6. One hour
  4. Calculator for stats, probably not IB
  5. Point value. Each section is worth 3000.

Over winter break, there will be an extra credit assignment, details given in class

Would it be cool if you were allowed to use a sheet of notes for each section of the final? I think it would..
