Final Exam - Physics 250

The final exam will be given as follows:
  1. You may prepare an 8-½ × 11 sheet to use in the exam. You may write, laser print, photocopy, or paste anything you want on both sides of the sheet, whatever you feel will help you on the exam. I suggest you handwrite the sheet, because simply preparing such a sheet will force you to go over all the material of the semester, and writing concepts and equations by hand will help you to remember them better.


  2. The exam will be held in room Science A210 on Monday, December 19, 2022, at 10:15am


  3. You may work on the exam for the full 120 minutes.
