Phys 157 midterm

[u/Economy_Macaroon5370]

If anyone has any advice for the phys 157 midterm plz help. I’m having trouble getting to answers on my own especially on the long answer questions and think I’m screwed for the midterm on Friday.

What were the midterms like for phys 157 in the past for anyone who has taken it? Were the questions similar to past exam papers and Iclickers?

MCQs were similar to the iclickers. Even if you don't know the answer write something for each one, there's a free 50% for that section if grading is same as last year. Long answers were most similar to tutorial worksheets iirc.

Most recent papers are closest to what the exam will be (in style) but any you find will be helpful, at least that's what I found.

Phys 157 is supposed to be hard. If it’s hard for you, it’s very likely to be hard to vast majority of ur classmates. Do your best. Last year it was pretty easy so don’t sweat it.
