Provided Mathematics and Engineering Formulae sheets for exams: Good or poor Approach?
الكلمات المفتاحية:
Mathematics Formulae sheets، Engineering Formulae sheetsالملخص
Over a very long time the debate about using Mathematics/Engineering formulae sheet/booklet as an aid during assessments, tests and exams has become an ongoing issue and there seems to be an everlasting discussion about it. Some teachers/lecturers make memorizing formulas and fact sheets obligatory and oppose any type of "aids" in any form during tests and exams. Other colleges/university/teachers do allow for the use of only complicated expressions, formulae and equations. However, students are expected to understand these formulae and their application as well as other simple and basic formulae that may not be provided during exams. After an extensive search and consulting many Mathematics/Engineering formula booklets, one has been found that could be readily adapted for use in Engineering colleges and Universities.
