Today I had a quiz in my Differential Equations and he decided to thow us all a little curve ball, he made it no calculatior. The questions came from the homework problems from our book, so it was an open book quiz. But having the book didn’t help much. I could do most of the problems except for when it came to the integrations and it’s hard trying to remember how to do all of the different integrations.

On the plus side he gave us the answers and a couple hints for 4 of the 6 or so problems. He also gave us 15 minutes to talk with anyone in the class about any problem we wanted. So that helped out. It took a little over an hour to do the problems and I felt like banging my head against the desk a few times. I think I did ok. He is generous about partial credit and it is just a quiz which is not heavily weighted in our grade.
