Notes for Office Hours, Problem Set 16c, and Friday Quiz Preparation

Time marker: the lecture starts at 09:01.
No new problem set today; I will not be giving you a new problem set today.
You should bring problem set 16c on Friday; you’ll receive credit for bringing it in.
We will review it the same way we typically do, which is the review that happens before each quiz.

I’m going to go ahead and work with this paper format for the review, continuing the routine before the quiz.
A new problem set will not be issued today; the next one would be discussed/assigned on a different schedule.
Problem set timing: problems are typically assigned at around 5 PM today and are due before class on Friday.

After you finish the problem set, you should allocate time for review study (suggested: 20–30 minutes, but it’s flexible based on what helps you study for the Friday quiz).
Submission method:
- Take a picture of your work and convert it to a PDF using a PDF scanner app, or
- If you have a scanner, scan and create a PDF directly.
- Then submit the PDF online.
After submission, a video key becomes available on Canvas:
- The video walks you through the grading process and explains the answers.
- You will grade your work, apply a curve, and enter your grade.

The video key demonstrates how to grade the assignment and apply a curve, followed by entering the final grade.
This provides a transparent, self-guided grading workflow to ensure consistency.

The homework is intentionally low-stakes: it is worth 5 points.
It consists of seven questions.
The goal is to help you study for the upcoming quiz, not to replicate every possible quiz question.
You still need to study everything covered in the relevant sections; the seven questions help focus your study but do not replace comprehensive study.
The instructor emphasizes that you should not spend excessive time (e.g., not hours) on this assignment.

This exercise is designed to guide study focus and gauge your preparedness for the Friday quiz.
The instructor notes that you still need to study all material from the covered sections despite the focused questions.
Acknowledges that the quiz may include topics beyond the seven questions on the homework.
Time allocation for study should be adjusted to maximize understanding and readiness for the quiz.

Friday note-card policy: you are allowed a note card of size 3.5 by 5 inches for both front and back.
- In LaTeX form: $3.5 imes 5 \text{ inches}$
Recommendation: have the note card fully fleshed out before you take the tessellate, and use it on the tessellate just as you would on the quiz.

The note card is intended to assist you during the tessellate/quiz as a revision aid.
Use the note card actively during the assessment to support recall and problem-solving strategies.

Canvas is the platform where you will find the video key after submitting the problem set.
The workflow integrates photo-to-PDF submission, online submission, and automated grading guidance via Canvas.

The structure balances study aids with assessment integrity by:
- Providing a low-stakes practice opportunity (5 points).
- Encouraging focused review before the Friday quiz.
- Using a visible grading process (video key) to illustrate expected solutions and the application of a curve.
The approach promotes time-efficient study habits and minimizes excessive workload while maintaining accountability.
