I walked into class Thursday morning knowing that it would be my last day before the midterm exam in class. The midterm will be given on Thursday January 22 during the third block. Mr Manning was nice enough to print out a great list of everything on the test. Each subject and how many questions go along with it will be displayed below. To begin class Mr. Manning passed out the tests from the previous day. This test was a pretty large one placed at 31 points. Together the class went over the test and a couple mistakes were found. After the test review is when Mr. Manning passed out the midterm paper. He explained thoroughly about the test being both multiple choice and problems. There will be an extra credit problem also on the test that can be up to nine points. The midterm is a test with everything that we learned in the first semester. Luckily for us we get to sleep in since the test is in the last block. Looking through the paper about the midterm I say that majority of the multiple choice questions were on graphing and Newton's 2nd Law. Student are encouraged to review themselves on these two things that will make up a large part of the test. Any student that wants to review more or has any questions was told by Mr. Manning that they can visit him next week during the testing times. He does though have to proctor during the second block Monday and again one more other time. Students are also told that they must bring a calculator to the testing block. Lastly students should also wear their MT Physics shirt so they can use the equations that are on the shirt.
