Test Number Four - Preparation Sheet

The Objectives for this Test are

• That you understand the basics of machining qualitatively
• That you understand the basics of machining quantitatively

The Expected Outcomes for you to Show you can meet these Objectives are

• Given basic definitions and/or pictures of machining processes, you will need to be able to determine which process is appropriate to make a part, and when it is appropriate in the production sequence.
• Given the required mathematical formulae, you need to be able to determine the parameters for a new situation based on the parameters for an old situation. In other words: here is case 1, determine case 2.
• Given the required mathematical formulae, you need to be able to speculate as to what is possible. You will need to justify your reasoning.
• Given the required mathematical formulae, you need to be able to evaluate speculations as to what is possible. You will need to justify your reasoning.
• You need to be able to identify what is being asked in each question and what is not being asked in each question.
• You need to be able to present math clearly in accordance with Test Instruction 2
• You need to be able to write clearly and effectively in accordance with Test Instruction 3. Being concise is key.

Some Tips for Studying for Tests

• Contact me so I can help you succeed.
• Write a topic list in outline (2-3 levels) form.
• Rate how well you know the subject matter, based on the expected outcomes and objectives
• A - I know it super well (this includes, I got it right on the HW and could do it again)
• B- I know it OK, but still need to study (this includes, I got it wrong on the HW but think I could do it right in the future, or I got it right on the HW through luck)
• C- I hope the Professor forgets it (he won't) (This includes, I got it wrong on the HW and have no idea how to do it correctly)
• Study the C's first, the B's second, and the A's third.
• Prepare Review Sheets based on all relevant course materials for each topic.
• Use the review sheets at the end
• Try extra problems or questions (even if you have to make them up, or ask me to make them up)
• Review the Homework Solutions and Assess your Performance on the HW. An assessment includes strengths, areas for improvement and insights. The assessment is a point from which to move forward. The strengths should represent an honest review. The areas for improvement, should include what you will do to improve, insights are (AHA moments) something you suddenly learned.
• Use but do not rely solely on the HW Solutions to study.
• Studying is Active not Passive.
• Studying is Not Looking at Subject Matter for the First Time.
• There are no relevant cribs for this course.
