Study Guides
For the past two years, I’ve been holding review sessions near the final exam period (and occasionally the midterm period as well, depending on demand). Last year, I compiled study guides for three courses.
Math 1225 (Methods of Calculus)
Math 1228 (Methods of Finite Mathematics)
Math 1229 (Methods of Matrix Algebra)
Here’s a few sample pages from the 1229 guide.
In each study guide, I’ve included a complete set of study notes (along the lines of Coles Notes) written in plain english. I tutor full time, so I wrote the notes in a way that students would be able to understand. I was a student once, too, and I know how frustrating and confusing the textbook and lectures can be - it doesn’t need to be that difficult.
Since I’ve been tutoring a while, I’ve accumulated several years of practice exams. I compiled the questions and organized them by section - if you just need to study one topic, then it’s easy to do so. On the other hand, if you study using the practice exams provided by the instructor, you’ll need to spend time searching for
The feedback I received from students was overwhelming. One student said they called it their bible. Two others said they wouldn’t have stood a chance of passing without it. And many students told me were surprised that concepts that took an entire lecture to explain by their professor could be summarized in one or two sentences.
The 1229 and 1225 guides come with 400 - 500 practice problems and costs $30.
The 1228 guide comes with 1100 practice problems and costs $40.
All problems are taken from past exams, so you can be sure that the questions you’ll see on your actual test will be very similar.
