Final Format

[Hayden Lee 1C]

Hi there,

I know this may be a little early, but does anyone know the general format of the final exam and the allotted time for it? Just trying to get a sense of what it will be like. Thanks!

[Ryan Hoang 1D]

Based on other people's posts, I'm assuming it's going to be pretty similar to our midterms! The only thing I might expect different is just more questions because I think it's going to be cumulative. But in terms of multiple choice and respondus, it's probably pretty similar.

[Heather Szeszulski 1I]

hi! I don't know the format however I do know it is out of 180 points and it is 1 hour and 30 mins.

[Jordan_OBrien_2k]

To go along with the other responses, I would say that it is probably similar to the format of our first two midterms with similar wording for the questions, however, the only difference will be that it is cumulative.

[Hannah Alltucker 3L]

Do we know if it will also be all multiple choice if it is similar to the midterms? Thanks!

[AmyHo2K]

It should be all multiple choices. Does anyone know if it's going to be all or nothing again?

[Chelsea_Guzman_3C]

The believe the final will have the same structure as the past 2 midterms, just with more questions and more time.

[Nathan Chu 3H]

I think the final will be very similar to the past two midterms we took. It will probably have more time and more questions.

[Savana Maxfield 3F]

I know that we will have more time, but does anyone know how many questions the final will be?

[Orla Lynagh-Shannon 1F]

I am also wondering if the final is going to equal amounts of MT1 and MT2 content or if it will be more heavily based on topics towards the end of the quarter.

[Ashley Kim 3H]

Not sure if it will be more heavily based on the topics towards the end of the quarter, but we should be familiar with all content from the entire quarter because it is cumulative. The format should all be MC though.

[Sarah_Hoffman_2H]

What date is the final on?

[tholz11]

I assume it'll be similar to the midterms but longer, and 180 points.

[Sukhkiran Kaur 3I]

I assume that it will be like our midterms! Seems the most plausible format.

[Savana Maxfield 3F]

The final is on Sunday, December 13th! :)

[LaurenChoi_1J]

I believe we'll have more time on the final than we had for the midterms and it will be more questions since it's covering everything we've learned throughout the quarter. I believe the format will still be multiple choice!

[Jalyn 3G]

When are we supposed to take the final? Is the final open for 24 hours or is it only open during a specific time window?

I believe it is only open during a specific time window. The final is on December 13th from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm (At least that's what is says on the ucla page).

[Nicole Attiq 3D]

What date is the final on?

Sunday, December 13th. I believe it will be open from around 11:30 to 2:30. Also, if anyone finds out how many questions it will be and whether there will be partial credit, please lmk.

Okay, thanks!

Will we need to be proctored by our TAs?

NEvermind I just read the syllabus... ignore this question

[almost_ethan]

Does anyone know if Dr. Lavelle is going to unlock the two previous midterms--so we can review the problems?

[Sarah Hernandez 1F]

Does anyone know if Dr. Lavelle is going to unlock the two previous midterms--so we can review the problems?

I'm not sure, I think that as of right now the only way to see the previous midterm questions is going to office hours with your TA and even then they'll just read out the questions instead of showing them

[805377003]

They haven't mentioned how it will be proctored but they did say that it is during a specific time.

[Aliya Roserie 3I]

Will the final be taken during the discussion section?

Is there a deadline to review the midterms?

It depends on your TA, but I don't think so. Just schedule an appointment with yours to go over your midterms individually before the final.

[Jason_Glass_2L]

I think the format and type of questions will be very similar to the midterms but with just a larger volume of problems.

[Javier Perez M 1H]

Will our TA actually go over with us the previous midterms we did if we schedule the appointment? My TA had mentioned something about not being able to view them or something.

[Claire_Kim_2F]

Will they be proctoring through zoom again during that specific time so all the tas students will be in the zoom?

[Samin Kabir]

Will they be proctoring through zoom again during that specific time so all the tas students will be in the zoom?

According to the Syllabus, he wants to do something like that in case we have questions about the exam while taking it.

[Norah Gidanian 3D]

Does anyone know if we will be taking it in breakout rooms like we did for our midterm? How are we planning on zooming and using respondus?

[Ruochen Yang 3B]

So in summary, the final is 180 pts, which means more questions than midterms, and will last 1.5 hour. The format should be pretty similar to midterms: multiple choices, just cumulative. However, I do wonder if people living in other time zones can have an alternative plan.

[Adrienne Yuh 2B]

It is 30 questions, 6 points each for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
