I recently posted sample exams for CHEM 233. While I think studying from samples can be dangerous since this sometimes encourages students to memorize material rather than learn it, the samples communicate clearly the type, formate and difficulty level of content to be tested. My aim was also to eliminate any disparity between students without samples and those who acquired old exams from classmates who had previously taken 233. My recommendation is to use the sample exams as an evaluation tool after you have studied the material. Review homework questions, assigned reading, course manual readings and prelab lecture notes first, then attempt one of the samples to gauge how well you understand the laboratory concepts and techniques.

I posted a sample exam for exam #2 on the shared files page (233sample_ex2.pdf). You may work through this example to help you study. I do not recommend relying soley on this example; also look at homework questions and TA notes for additional material.

The final exam for CHEM 233 will be held on Monday, December 10 from 6-8pm in Lecture Centers A1 and B1. Because there are two rooms, the class will be divided in half. You will receive an informational sheet on the day of your practical exam that will indicate which Lecture Center you should attend. This info sheet will also contain sample questions, review topics as well as exam policies.
