+
===Final exam date and time===
+
The final exam will be held on '''Dec 12 at 8:30 am, 2016'''.
+
 
+
===What will the exam look like?===
+
 
+
====Content====
+
*The material covered by the final exam includes material from '''Chapters 1-15''' of the course notes. See the [[Course calendar]] for detailed readings.
+
*The best way to study is to '''do lots of problems'''. Questions similar to both the WeBWorK assignments and the OSH will appear on the final exam. For additional problems, look at the back of each chapter of course notes and the review problems in Chapter 16.
+
*The difficulty of the exam will be similar to that of the midterms although you will probably find that you are not as pressed for time.
+
*There will be a slight emphasis on the material covered since the Midterm but the exam will definitely be cumulative.
+
 
+
====Format====
+
The final exam will consist of
+
*a number of '''multiple choice questions''',
+
*some '''short answer problems''' (show work, enter answer in a box) and
+
*a few '''longer problems'''.
+
 
+
====Practice for the final exam====
+
*Exams from previous years are available on the [http://www.math.ubc.ca/Ugrad/pastExams/index.shtml Math Department website]. Keep in mind that the material varies from year to year so some problems appearing on old exams might not be relevant this year. Similarly, some topics covered this year might not appear on any of the old exams.
+
**The [[Media:FinalExam2015.pdf|2015 exam]] (not yet posted on the site above).
+
*Hints and solutions to many of these old exams are available on the [http://wiki.ubc.ca/Science:Math_Exam_Resources Math Exam Resources] page.
+
*Problems at the back of each chapter of the course notes (see menu for link) have answers at the end of the course notes in the appendices.
+
*A page on the wiki of [[practice problems]].
+
 
+
===Final exam room assignments===
+
This list of exam room assignments is provided for convenience. If there is any disagreement between this list and the official schedule, follow the [http://students.ubc.ca/enrolment/exams/exam-schedule official UBC exam schedule].
