GaVS Physics B: Week 17 Update
ALL Sessions Spring 2017
This Week's Focus: FINAL EXAM
THIS week, you will take your final exam. As a reminder, you MUST take your final at some point between May 10th @ 12:01 AM and May 11th @ 11:59 PM. You are allotted 90 minutes for the exam and it will count for 20% of your grade!
On Tuesday, May 9th @ 6:00 PM, we will have an Adobe session in my classroom. I will have time for you to ask questions in advance of our final exam.
This will be our FOURTH Final exam review! Remember, If you ATTEND these reviews LIVE, I will automatically ADD 2 points to EACH unit test covered during that review. If you watch the RECORDING and answer the I Spy questions from review, I will ADD 2 points to EACH unit test covered during the review! This week we are reviewing Optics and Nuclear Physics.
***You MUST have your I Spy ELO from this review turned in on the same day, May 9th, in order to receive credit.**
Final grades will be released May 18th.

General Final Exam Questions
The final exam window opens 12:00 am 5/10 - 11:59 pm 5/11. Students must complete the exam during this window.
2. How long in the final exam?
The exam is 90 minutes. You must complete the exam in 1 sitting. No starting, pausing and returning later.
3. Where do I take the final exam?
The exam is online in our course under Quizzes. It will become active and be the last quiz link on 5/10. Some schools require the final exam be completed at school with a teacher present; others do not. You should check with your facilitator about your traditional school's policy on when the exam should be completed during the 5/10-5/11 window of availability. If your school does not require the exam be completed during the regular school day, it is recommended that you plan for a quiet, uninterrupted time to complete the exam during the 5/10-5/11 window.
4. What is the final exam worth?
The final exam is worth 20% of your course average.
5. Are we allowed to exempt the final exam?
No, GaVS does not allow for exam exemptions. All students must take the final exam.
6. What is on the exam?
The exam is comprehensive. It will cover all modules from our course (Electrostatics, Electricity, Magnetism, Waves, Sound, EM Waves, Nuclear Physics)
