The combined-section Final Exam for ECE 313 has been scheduled
for Friday, December 10, 8-11 a.m.
Students enrolled in Sections C&D (10 am & 11 am sections): Room 151 Everitt Lab
Students enrolled in Sections X&E (12 pm \& 1 pm sections): Room 149 National Soybean Research Center.
Two two-sided 8.5" by 11" sheets of notes allowed, with font size no smaller than 10 pt or equivalent handwriting.
Bring a picture ID. No calculators. The exam consists of a sampling of problems related to
the lectures, course notes, and problems sets from throughout the semester. It has about twice as many
problems as an hour exam. Material for problem sets 12 and 13 will be covered slightly more heavily
because it wasn't covered in the hour exams. You are responsible for knowing the forms of all the key discrete
and continous-type distributions listed on the inside covers of the notes (same as Appendix 5.2).
Here is a brief wrap up of the
material of the course; more comprehensive lists of the course
topics are the table of contents and the index of the notes.
There is a conflict final exam scheduled for Monday afternoon, 1:30-4:30 pm,
December 13, but there are strict rules to be followed in determining
eligibility for the conflict exam. You would qualify for the 313 conflict
exam if (1) you have another final scheduled for the same time as the
main 313 exam for either a noncombined final class of for a smaller combined
final class, OR (2) you have finals scheduled in both the afternoon and
evening of Friday, December 10, for noncombined final classes
or smaller combined final classes. If you think you qualify for a conflict
final, please contact Prof. Hajek at b-hajek with the word "conflict final" in the
subject header. If for some reason of emergency such as severe illness you
are not able to take the final exam at the required time, you will need to obtain
a written excuse from the
emergency dean.
Since we are using course notes this semester, the topics covered
in the exams are exactly the ones in the course notes.
Exam 1 covers problems, lectures, and reading for
problem sets 1-6, which is covered in the notes through Section 3.1.
You should know the meanings, forms, means, and variances for the
key discrete distributions for all the exams, including the final exam.
Exam 2 covers problems, lectures, and reading for
problem sets 1-11, with emphasis on problem sets 7-11, which is
covered in the notes through Section 4.6. You should know the meanings,
forms, means, and variances for the key continuous-type distributions for
all Exam 2 and the final exam.
The final will cover problems, lectures, and reading for all the
problem sets, covered in the notes through the end of the notes.
You should take the exams in the exam rooms corresponding to the section you are registered in,
not the section you are auditing (if those two do not happen to coincide). Please make sure that
you bring your IDs with you, and that you show up at least 15 minutes earlier, in order to avoid
last minute problems (such as not being able to find the room). If for some reason of emergency
such as severe illness you are not able to take the final exam at the required time, you will need
to obtain a written excuse from the emergency dean.
You may bring one 8.5" by 11" sheet of notes to the hour exams; and two 8.5" by 11" sheets of notes to the
final exam. Both sides of the sheets can be used. The notes can be typed in font size 10 or larger, or
written in handwritting of equivalent size or larger. The exams are closed-book
and closed-notes otherwise. Electronic devices (calculators, cellphones, pagers, laptops, etc.)
are neither necessary nor permitted.
