Meeting #7

Ronak, you forgot to take the assignments that I told you to give to Martin. I ended up asking another kid to give Martin his homework...

Anyways, the homework for this week are these worksheets:

Next week we'll have the exam. It will include information on Units 7 and 8. The test will be split into 20 one-minute stations with 4 multiple choice questions and 2 one-minute stations with a short answer/essay. This follows the same format as the actual competition, except with 22 stations instead of 20.

Update

Because Martin will not be here today, we will have the exam next Thursday, February 4th. The HW for this week is Units 7-8 (including Unit 8 reading!)

We will not be taking the Units 7-8 quizzes next week due to time constraints. However, the exam will include questions from these two units so you still have to study!

We'll be taking the same final that last year's students took (except with extra Unit 7-8 questions). Just as a warning: it's more difficult than the actual competition exam! I'll make the same promise here: if you guys manage to get above 95% on this test, I'll reward you with something nice. I think last year the final score was 68%, so it's definitely harder than you think! >:)

(You guys have an extra week this year, so you better get above 68%!)

Meeting #6

I will not be at the meeting today. Make sure that you study everything we've learned so far, as we will be having our first cumulative exam next Thursday, January 28th. Read up on the rules to learn about the structure of next week's exam: http://macombso.org/images/mesodocs/2016/rules/2016weather.pdf

See you then!

No Meeting Today, Cumulative Exam 1/28

There was no meeting today, so you guys should review on your own. The exam will still be on the 28th, the day of our next meeting. See you then!

Meeting #5

Today we took the quizzes for Units #5 and #6. After some disappointing results from Martin, Ronak has caught up in points:

Martin: 2
Ronak: 2

Homework this week is to study! I've pushed the cumulative exam (Units 1-6) until the 28th. We will review for next week. Please bring any questions that you may have.
