I know others may disagree, but for my undergraduate classes I let them use
a formula "cheat sheet" for certain formulas...
----- End of forwarded message from Dale Glaser -----
I allow one 3X5 card for the first exam, two for the second, etc.
However, I do not put any restrictions on the content. They can use
formulas, words, examples, figures, prayers, mantras, etc. -- whatever
they think will help them. Based on the number of students who come
up to me during an exam and ask me to explain the forulas on their
cards, I think even the students themselves overestimate the utility
of formulas.
