Quiz: PHYS 125, Exam 1, Fall 2020 8/30/23, 2:31 PM PHYS 125, Exam 1, Fall 2020  This is a preview of the published version of the quiz Started: Aug 30 at 2:30pm Quiz Instructions https://canvas.rice.edu/courses/32915/quizzes/43571/take?preview=1 Page 1 of 20 Quiz: PHYS 125, Exam 1, Fall 2020 8/30/23, 2:31 PM 1. This exam has 25 questions. You have 2 hours to complete it, which will be enforced by Canvas. The exam is all multiple choice. When you open it, you will see all of the questions at once. For questions that share a figure, the figure and description are copied for each question. This is not a mistake. It is intended to make sure you don't get confused about which figure goes with each question. 2. You will see the entire exam in a single window. Scroll through it to enter your answers. You can change them as you go because YOU ONLY CLICK "SUBMIT" ONE TIME WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED. 3. This exam is pledged and you are to take it under typical conditions. The exam is NOT open book or open note. You may only use your calculator and the formula sheet. Rather than signing the pledge, by beginning the exam you are acknowledge that you will follow the honor code. 4. You may use the formula sheet posted on Canvas. To do so we suggest you open it in another tab, or print it out. 5. We will not issue clarifications while the exam is out. If something is unclear you can email "[email protected]", but we will not respond. These messages will be collected and used to decide if any adjustments need to be applied to the grading of the exam (such as throwing a question out or taking two answers). 6. If you experience a signficant problem such as scrambled equations from your browser, loss of internet connection, loss of power, bear attack, etc., stop taking the exam, note how much time you have used, and then email "[email protected]" and we will make a plan for you to finish the exam. 7. In addition to the electronic submission, keep a paper answer sheet that you can send us if there is a problem with Canvas submission. It just needs your answer for each problem (letter and value), not all of your work. For example: 1. C, 90 V; 2. B, up; 3. A, 7 mA,... 8. When you click submit, Canvas will automatically grade it, but that is not your score! We have set all answers to "A" so that you will not know which you got right and wrong until we put in the correct answers and re-grade it. We will do this once all students have taken the exam. 9. Good luck!
