Any questions
on the 5.6 homework?
Please close your laptops now –
You will have time to get a
good start on the practice quiz
after the lecture today.
Review for Quiz 3
Quiz 3 covers
sections 5.1-5.4 and 5.6
on exponents
and polynomials
To study for the quiz:
1). Take
Practice Quiz 3
•
Your best score on the practice quiz DOES count 6 points toward your
course grade. A 100% score gives you 6 points, 50% gives you 3 points,
and not taking it at all gives you 0 out of the 6 points.
•
You can take the practice quiz as many times as you want, and only your
best score will count for points.
•
The practice test has the same number of questions (18) as the real test.
•
Each time you take the practice quiz, you will get a different set of
questions. The more times you take it, the more likely you will see all of
the types of question that will be on the real quiz.
•
When you REVIEW a completed practice quiz, you will be able to use the
“Help Me Solve This” and other learning aids, but they will not be
available as you take the practice quiz or the real quiz.
•
You have 90 minutes per attempt at the practice test, but you will only
have 55 minutes to take the regular test in class.
•
On the PRACTICE QUIZ ONLY, you can do part of it, then close it (DON’T
submit, just close the window) and come back later to finish it without
losing any time off your clock.
Why you should take
advantage of the
opportunity to take the

Studying for the test (continued):
2). Review
the homework from the sections in which you
missed questions on the practice quiz. You can use the
Study Plan button on the CourseCompass menu for this –
it will generate practice questions for you that are similar to
the ones you missed on the practice quiz.
3). Review
your class notes and/or the online
lecture slides (online under each Assignment
heading).
Reminders:
• Be on time so you’re logged in and ready
to go when I give you the password.
(This is especially important for this quiz since it will take
the entire 55-minute class period.)
• Bring your POWER CORD & CALCULATOR (yes,
you do get to use it for this quiz, and the final exam.)
• REMEMBER TO SHOW ALL OF YOUR WORK on the
answer/worksheet provided so that we can award partial
credit for partially correct work or typos.
Do any of you who have
already started the
practice quiz have any
questions you’d like to
have explained?
Instructors: Spend some time here going over questions on the
practice test, either from students and/or questions you’ve selected
from the practice test.)
Go ahead and start the practice
quiz, and we’ll come around to
help if you have questions.
Remember, the open lab staff will
also be available to help you with
preparing for the quiz outside of
class time, any time between 8:00
a.m. and 7:30 p.m., Mondays
through Thursdays.
