Module 5 - Discussion: Midterm Exam Study Hall

Instructions

Join your classmates in the discussion to create a virtual study hall. This is a graded discussion. Read and follow these steps very carefully:

1. Your instructor will begin this discussion by posting a problem or question related to the material that has been studied.
2. Once your instructor has posted the beginning question, then whoever gets the answer first will reply to that post and answer the question.
3. After you have posted your answer, go all the way up to the top, reply to the main discussion by posting a different question (that comes from the course textbook). Include the textbook section and exercise number.
4. Another student will answer your question then it rotates until everyone has posted at least one question and has replied at least one time. Replying with an alternative solution path is encouraged.

This is your opportunity to resolve any of those lingering questions about the concepts and methods of solving problems. Ask questions that you would if you were in a face-to-face classroom. Keep in mind that if you are questioning an unclear concept or topic about a problem, chances are some of your peers are too. Post your questions early enough in the module so others can benefit from the questions and the resolutions posted by your instructor and peers.

In Preparation

Study the chapters in your textbook covered in Modules 1 through 4. Remember to review the videos, tutorials, and MML support - especially your Study Plan. All of them are valuable study tools.

Go to MyLab and Mastering menu item and then Open MyLab & Mastering. Navigate to the Study Plan. Work all of the exercises selected based on your previous homework and quiz performance. Use the tools provided in MML, including "Ask Your Instructor."

In addition to the resources already mentioned, use this discussion area as a resource for study.  

Post & Discuss

Submit your initial post and look over your classmates’ posts for additional review. Offer help to someone who is stuck. After you have completed this discussion, take the exam. Do not return to the discussion after you have taken the exam.
