Multiple-Choice Quizzes

This quiz is a sample of what this semester's quizzes will look like, but it just covers statics.  Note that the portion of the formula sheet relevant to these problems is included on the last page.  These problems are representative of how most mechanics-of-materials problems begin.  You must get the statics portion correct in order to get the mechanics-of-materials portion correct.  You can use the following key to score this quiz.  Students in the spring semester of 2010 took it the first day of class, got an average of 77, and had the following spread.

Multiple-Choice Final Exams

sample final exam with worked-out solutions  (by Dr. Libre)

The summer 2008 final exam (key) was the only single-version, multiple-choice final exam given in CE 110.  It proved too easy for students to look at each others' papers for answers.  Multiple versions of each quiz and final exam have been given since that semester.  Posting keys for all of these variations would be too confusing and time consuming.  Hopefully the samples provided on this page will help you prepare for this semester's quizzes and final exam.  The summer 2008 final exam has partially-correct choices.  This semester's final exam will have 1 correct choice and 4 incorrect (random number) choices.  The summer 2008 final exam also has fewer questions than usual.  You should be able to work it in 90 minutes or less.

More information on this semester's final exam can be found on the Final Exam page.
