A quiz and worksheet will be given each week in the Thursday Tutorial (except for weeks when we have a Thursday exam). The date and sections covered in each quiz and worksheet are shown below.
The quiz will last 10 minutes. If you are late, you will get the remainder of the time to complete your quiz. Calculators will not be allowed on quizzes and no formula sheets will not be allowed unless they are attached to the quiz. Please put away your smartwatches and phones for the duration of the quiz.
There will be no make up quizzes. In the event that you miss a tutorial, you must have appropriate documentation from the office of student affairs in order to gain credit for the tutorial. In the event that you have acceptable documentation, the average of your other tutorial grades will be used to replace that of the missed one.
Tutorial Grades The grade for your tutorial will be 100 points out of a total of 600.
Each tutorial counts for 10 points. Your quiz will be worth 4 points.The remaining 6 points will be given for the worksheet and participation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your quiz will have three multiple choice questions, worth 2 points each. If you get 2 questions correct, you will be given full points.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The worksheet will have a list of partial credit questions. You will work on these questions in groups. This part of the tutorial gives you practice on writing solutions to partial credit questions. In addition to working together to solve the problems, take extra care to make sure the solution is well presented.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To prepare for Tuesday Tutorial you should read your book and notes, make summaries of the material in the given sections, work through the homework for those sections. In addition you should try the questions listed below from the book and the old exam questions on this website from those sections (solutions are given on the same page). A list of the appropriate exam questions to review each week will appear below.
You may attempt any of the questions on the quiz, but you may not have time to complete all of them. On exams, you are usually allowed about 4 minutes for a multiple choice question and about 8 minutes for a partial credit question. Some will take longer than others, depending on your individual strengths or weaknesses. It is assumed that when studying for the quiz, you will pay attention to your own strengths and weaknesses and will choose the questions to attempt on the quiz wisely. This will also help you with developing good exam strategies, where it is best to start on questions that play to your strengths.
To prepare For Exams Note that a variety of problems can be solved with the same concepts, theorems and formulas. So it is best to pull out general principles as you work through your notes and make a note of the main ideas, formulas and theorems. You can then test your understanding and skills in using these tools on a variety of exam problems. This outlook will deepen your knowledge and help you develop the problem solving skills you need to tackle problems that you have not seen specifically, but can be solved with the tools you have. At the other end of the scale, mindlessly working through old exam problems alone, and hoping you get the exact same problems on the exam is not a good study strategy, since we rarely give problems on exams that are exactly the same as those on previous exams. Exam questions are designed to test your mastery of the course material(combined with foundational material from previous courses) and your proficiency in applying it to problems. Some questions might be very similar to questions you have seen before, others may not. The quizzes we give in tutorials are composed entirely of old exam questions and thus should give you a good way to test your progress each week and help you develop the problem solving skills you will need for exams in a low stakes environment. Please pay careful attention to the valuable feedback you get from your quiz each week and adjust your study strategies accordingly.
