June Holidays HW

Reminder: Please study for Chem CA (a 40 MCQs Test) in T3W1. Topics tested will be those tested in the MYE.

Physics

(a) All corrections to MYE to be done according to the following steps:

- Study the chapters from 1-8 you didn't properly prepare yourself for this exam

- Identify the qns that you did poorly for (< 60% correct) & redo them

- Access COL@C to search for:

i. Video corrections for all structured qns will be uploaded

ii. Solutions to both Sections A & B will be posted along with examiner's reports

- Remark the redone qns and complete corrections for qns from MYE including MCQ:

i. Complete corrections once for each qn

ii. If a qn had been redone, correct the latest attempt

- Each paper has a Section A & Section B, complete both by end of holidays

- Complete Section A for both papers as online quizzes (COL@C) & print out quiz report for filing

- Complete Section B on foolscap. View the video solutions for qns in Section B to self-mark.

Note: For the online quizzes, you can either choose to do the Qns on Chap 9 Gravitation (if you have studied) or put down any answer and then adjust your score accordingly when you print out the report.

Note: For Section B, ignore the Chap 9 Gravitation Qns.

(c) Tutorial Qns: Complete all unattempted Tut Qns, self-mark and make corrections with the help of the tutorial solutions posted on COL@C. Hand this in with your file as well.

(e) (Optional) - Additional Practice Qns: Past Year Prelim Qns are available in H2 Phy Course for download.

Chemistry

(a) e-Learning for Chemical Energetics (Part 2): Section 5. Gibbs Free Energy (Pg 208); Materials will be made available from 6/6 onwards:

- Video for Lecture Materials on Section 5: 'Gibbs Free Energy' & videos of solutions to Tut Q4, 5, 11, 12, 16, 17

(b) Chemical Energetics Tut (Self Practice + Discussion + Assignment Qns)

(c) Revision of Terms 1 & 2 topics: Redo 2014 MYE, do 2012 & 2013 MYE Papers & selected Qns from the RP.

- Solutions to the above mentioned materials are already available on COL@C.

- Look @ MYE Paper and find out which subtopic you are weak in. Refer to the relevant section of the Lecture Notes with relevant Learning Outcomes, check the checklist for relevant Tut, CA, RP qns to do.

• If your problem is I: Try relevant Tut + RP Structured Qns, ask yourself what is the difference between your answer and the one in Tut / Lecture Notes, come up with "standard explanations" for typical Qns
• If your problem is M: Try relevant Tut Structured + RP MCQs (write down why each option is right or wrong), ask yourself what concept / definition do I need in the Qns
• If your problem is U: Try relevant Tut + RP Structured + *RP Qns, highlight keywords + info in the Qn (write down what they mean / tell you), ask yourself what is the Qn asking for / telling me?

- An example of the IMU is sent in the weekly email, which also consists of HW due on T3W1 & W2, which I will only include near the end of the Jun Hols.
