What to Bring to Exams

All exams are multiple-choice tests. They are constructed in such a way as to emphasize active understanding of the material, rather than memorization. The hints on studying strategies are provided under a separate heading. For your reference, some old exams are collected on the web.

You should bring the following to each exam
   scientific calculator (see below)
   some #2 pencils,
   an eraser
   your PSU student I.D. card.
A periodic table and a list of equations will be provided with each exam.
Be sure you know your correct Chem 110 section number and student I.D. number and that you enter these correctly on your exam answer sheet.

A suitable scientific calculator (one that handles numbers in scientific notation and provides log/antilog functions) is essential.  Calculators with text-storage capabilities (such as the TI-81 used in Math 140) or communication capabilities (such as cell-phone calculators, or BlackBerries) will not be permitted for use on exams. Except for simple scientific calculators (mentioned above) no other electronic devices of any kind are permitted on the exams. If such devices are detected (whether in use or not) students may receive a zero score on the exam in question.  An exception to this rule for medical (or otherwise essential) equipment must be arranged before the exam.
