What This Document Is
This is a past exam from a Calculus II course (MATH 128) at Washington University in St. Louis, administered on October 23, 2006. It’s designed to assess student understanding of key concepts covered in the course up to that point in the semester. The exam format includes a mix of multiple-choice and written-response questions, requiring both conceptual knowledge and problem-solving skills. It provides a realistic simulation of the types of questions students can expect on a formal evaluation.
Why This Document Matters
This resource is invaluable for students currently enrolled in Calculus II, or those preparing to take the course. It’s particularly helpful for understanding the scope of the material tested, the typical question formats, and the level of difficulty expected. Utilizing past exams like this one is a proven strategy for effective exam preparation, allowing students to identify areas where they need further study and practice. It’s also useful for instructors looking for examples of assessment questions.
Common Limitations or Challenges
While this exam provides a strong indication of the course’s assessment style, it’s important to remember that course content and emphasis can evolve over time. This exam reflects the specific topics and approach used in the Fall 2006 semester and may not perfectly align with the current curriculum. Furthermore, this document *only* contains the exam itself; detailed solutions or explanations are not included. Access to those would require a separate purchase.
