Videos and Reading:

All of the following are required except items labeled Optional are, well, optional (i.e., things that may be interesting but do not directly pertain to your success in this course).

If you have any questions about the following documents/instructions, ask your instructor about them BEFORE you begin Test 1.

1. Format of Test 1
   • Read this explanation of the Format of Test 1.
2. Honesty Pledge
   • Read this Honesty Pledge that you will complete and turn in at the end of the test.
3. Practice Problems for the Paper-and-Pencil part
   1. If you have not already done so, do these Practice for Paper and Pencil problems.
      • In case the above Microsoft Word document gives you troubles, here is a PDF of those same Practice for Paper and Pencil problems.
   2. AFTER (!) doing the above problems, check your answers to the problems via the Answer Key to those problems.
4. Regarding the Session 6 project:

   For Professor Mutchler's sections, you MUST compete the Session 6 problems — it is your ADMISSION TICKET to the test. You are NOT permitted to start Test 1 until:

   1. You have successfully completed the Session 6 project AND its paper-and-pencil problems (see the link to them above).
      • Exception: Problem 3 of the Session 6 exercises is hard and well worth spending time on it. Ask for help as needed on it. If problem 3 is the only problem that you have not completed, then you may take Test 1.
   2. You have checked your Session 6 paper-and-pencil problems (per the above answer key).

   For Professor Fisher's sections, you may take Test 1 even if you have not completed the Session 6 exercises. However, it is strongly recommended that you complete AT LEAST problems 0, 1 and 2 of Session 6 BEFORE you take Test 1 and also do the Paper and Pencil practice problems (see the link to them above).

5. Come to the OPTIONAL class session on Tuesday.
   • If you have not completed all the required/recommended exercises, this is by far the best time to work on them.
