It's that time of the semester. Exam #1 will take place next Wednesday, September 26. There is a review page posted on the Schedule page of the website.
Please note that the exam will be held at the unconscionably early hour of 7:30-8:20AM. Both Lecture sections will take the exam at the same time, but we will be split among three classrooms. To make sure that everyone spreads out evenly, I've assigned the classrooms by Recitation section. You can check the Review Page to see where you belong.

I know this is off-topic, but on the website it says the final exam could be anytime up to Dec. 19th, but the official academic calendar in The Word says the finals from Dec. 15 to Dec. 19 are for TSB, HNZ, and ISM only... so would our final be by Dec. 14th?
The next line in the calendar indicates final exams Dec 17-18. So there might not be an exam on Dec 19th, but I won't promise anything.
the formula sheet says its for exam 2, is this the right sheet?
Is the actual test as long as the review problem sheet? Because that review problem sheet is taking FOREVER to complete.
In addition, are the problems on the test the same difficulty level as the review problems?
anonymous #2: Yes it says exam #2 and yes this is the right sheet, you should be familiar with all the terms on the reference sheet.
anonymous #3: Note that problems 1 and 7 don't require the use of a calculator. Other than that these problems look quite normal.
I haven't seen the exam and don't know how many questions there will be, but I'm guessing 7-8 questions perhaps a bit shorter than the review problems but at the same level of difficulty.
To make good use of the review sheet, you should attempt to do all the problems without referring to the textbook and under time pressure. Allow yourself perhaps an hour and a half to finish these. That way you know not only what you have to study better, but also what kind of computations/know integrals you have to be able to do faster.
why is our exam at 7:30 when classes can't even start until 8:30? is this legal?!?!?
Total agreement with anon # 4.
Does CMU hate students as well as grass?
Numerous studies have shown that morning-type students consistently outperform evening-type students in morning classes. The following study in particular outlines the advantages from scheduling events later in the day - http://www.scielo.br/pdf/bjmbr/v35n11/4472.pdf
In essence - with a later exam start time, everyone wins.
Why must evening-type students be systematically excluded from performing well?
This exam policy is nothing more than an institutionalized disadvantage for evening students.
