Q#1: On the first exam, some of the
problems had large data sets and required
lengthy computations. What can
I do feel more corfortable and better prepared?
A#1a. Use your calculator on the homework;
even if the problems are relatively
simple. The key is practice using
your calculator and to become
familar with how it works.
A#1b. There are ways to check yourself
along the way. Instead of stopping and
recalculating your data numerous times; calculate the figures (i.e.,sum
of
squares) twice, then proceed to the next part of
the problem. This will
help you to get the exam more quickly and allow
you time to double check
your work.
A#1c. Take some time out and rework the first
exam (posted on website:
assignm'ts & Exams section) on paper with your
calculator and on a
spreadsheet. This will provide more practice and
help you to prepare for
Exam II.
A#1d. Re-work homework problems in relationship
to the areas of the exam were
you had problems. The more you
work and re-work problems the easier
it will be recall them for the next exam.
A#1e. Is you have specific questions let your
group leader know or email Frank
at Flarkey@uh.edu.
