Please Note: The exam review packet and corresponding answers can be accessed through the Class Notes section.

 

FAQ's:

 

1. How much is the final exam worth?

 

The final exam in Chemistry 112 is worth 30% of your final mark in the course. 

 

 

2. How many marks are on the exam and how are they distributed?

 

The exam has a total of 200 marks distributed as follows:

 

     Matching - 10 marks

     Multiple Choice - 50 marks

     Completion (Tables, Predictions and Balancing) -  77 marks

     Numeric Response (Calculations) - 63 marks

 

3. What chapters are covered on the exam?

 

Unit 1: Chapters 5-9

Unit 2: Chapters 3, 10-12, 16

 

Certain subtopics within the chapters were omitted. See the exam review handout for which topics can be omitted within each chapter.

 

4. What is the best way to review for the exam?

 

Exam review packets were handed out earlier in the semester. Recommended review questions were provided for each Chapter as well as a packet of answers for most of the questions. Do the questions you feel you need to do - for most students, the early chapters will take the most work to review as they haven't been revisited in a while. Look at the time you have available to study and budget your time accordingly. 

 

5. What should I bring to the exam?

 

Make sure you have at least 2-3 pencils and an eraser. Pen is not recommended as it is both time-consuming and more difficult to erase. Bring a calculator - YOUR calculator!  While I have a few spares, I cannot show you how to use one during an exam.  Bring your textbook - make sure all tabs, inserts, etc. are removed as this will make the returning process much easier for you before the exam. An unreturned textbook will cost $100 to replace and all final marks will be withheld. Finally, return your periodic table - you will need to use it for the exam anyway - there is a $1 replacement fee to recover the double-sided colour photocopying costs to produce a new one for another student if yours has gone missing.

 

 

NOTE: The use of a Smartphone (or any other type of Personal Electronic Device) is STRICTLY PROHIBITED during the exam. Any student attempting to access a PED during an exam will have the PED confiscated and be sent directly to the office. This will result in a final mark of ZERO on the exam.

6. Are mathematical equations provided on the exam?

 

No. Keep in mind there were only a select few used in this course and all were within the last few weeks of class.

 

7. When can I leave the exam?

 

The exam is designed to be finished in 1.5 hr (90 minutes). The exam starts promptly at 8:45 am (1:00 pm for afternoon exams). The earliest you are permitted to leave is 10:15 am (2:30 pm for afternoon exams), subject to teacher discretion. To allow for universal accommodations, the exam can be extended to 3 hours (180 minutes). At 11:45 am (or 4:00 pm for afternoon exams), the exam is considered over and all materials must be gathered and handed to the teacher. I have a brief, but formal checkout process that each student must go through before leaving the exam room. This is to ensure all items have been returned and all sheets filled out properly. Please note, once you have left the room, all work submitted is final.

 

Hopefully this was of some help. Study hard, take breaks, and best of luck everyone!

 

 

Sincerely,
