No discussions after 10PM EST on 10/28

October 26th, 2014 Comments off

Hi everyone,

 

I want to issue a reminder that no new discussion forum posts are allowed after 10PM EST on 10/28.

 

I also want to say thank you to all of you, as it has been my pleasure teaching this course.  I really appreciate all the feedback, ideas, and thoughtful questions.  You’ve helped make me a better instructor, and of course I hope that I’ve helped make you much more prepared to pass this exam.

 

Best of luck on Wednesday, and I hope to see you as Fellows at a CAS meeting in the future!

 

Thanks,

 

Josh

Revision to new practice exam

October 14th, 2014 Comments off

Hi everyone,

 

I just revised Question 11 part (a) of the new 2014 practice exam, as the prior question and answer were flawed.  The correction version has this page dated October 14 (compared to October 13 for the other pages of the exam).

 

Thanks,

 

Josh

New Practice Exam posted!

October 13th, 2014 Comments off

Hi everyone,

 

I just finished and posted a new practice exam for you to use to help in your studies.  I recommend taking the practice exams 1-2 weeks before the actual exam (so starting around now), so you’ll have some time to identify any learned lessons and take those into the actual exam.

 

Thanks,

Corrections to comments in Anderson solutions

October 10th, 2014 Comments off

Hi everyone,

 

I just posted 2 corrections to the Anderson problem set in regard to comments I made in the italic section of 2 solutions:

 

1.  In the comments in the solution to 2013 Q2, Beta 2 should have been noted as the additional effect on frequency for being in territory A, not territory B.

2.  In the comments in the solution to 2008 Q3 discussing aliasing, “independent variable” has been corrected to “dependent variable.”

 

Thanks,

 

Josh
