Re: Week 5 Homework

Re: Midterm
The midterm will cover everything we've learned so far (fundamentals and quantum world).

Re: Can We Take The Final In Pencil?
Since Test 1 was already only allowed to be written in pen, it's likely the midterm and final will also need to be in pen.

Re: Pre-Calc and Calculus
Most of the math that will be done is algebraic--isolating variables and rearranging equations. As long as you can do that, you won't have to worry about the math being too difficult!

Do you know if in future tests, we will also be provided with a formula sheet?

Is the midterm only going to have questions based on Quantum World and Fundamentals?

Re: Specific type of calculator for tests?
As long as the calculator is not a graphing calculator, any scientific calculator will be fine.

Re: Showing Work for Limiting Reactant Calculations on Tests [ENDORSED]
Showing work is best because the TA can follow along every step and give you max points for each step.
