Review activity for final exam

During a regular semester, there is
  1. a last Friday lecture of the semester,
  2. a last Monday lecture of the semester,
  3. then Exam Week begins the next day, a Tuesday.
We do the Chuck Norris Mega-Review homework assignment between Friday and the start of exam week, a nice long set of 3.5 days. We do a Chuck Norris Mega-Combo Review on clickers on that last Monday. Works well.

This Summer A is way smooshed up, schedule-wise, so I am going to put together a slightly different review activity schedule. Here we go:
  1. Chuck Norris Mega-Review HW in Webcourses, will open for business on Tuesday morning, 8 AM. I will set it to 5 attempts. Do not burn off all your attempts, but print out the first attempt and use it as a study guide with a friend or study group. Pace yourself so that you can practice Tuesday and Wednesday lecture material, and use your 4th and 5th attempts after Wednesday lecture.
  2. Tuesday lecture on electricity and magnetism, regular HW on Tuesday night.
  3. Wednesday lecture on quantum physics, regular HW on Wednesday night.
  4. Thursday, 2:00 - 2:15 PM, we will do a Chuck Norris Mega-Combo Review in class on clickers, maybe 10 questions, with plenty of time to work with your neighbor, sort through the concepts, check calculations etc.
  5. 2:20 PM, start final exam, at which time you will crush the final exam. Good.
By the way, both Chuck Norris review activities get converted to maybe one or two bonus points each.
