Trial exam CIE4305 (Coastal Dynamics 1)
Exam content:
This trial exam consists of 27 questions clustered in 4 topics (cross-shore,
alongshore, basins and an in-depth question about an arbitrary topic).
The total number of points is 67.
General instructions:
This pdf file contains the exam questions. The answers must be given in Maple TA.
To view the two windows side-by-side (pdf to the left and Maple TA to the right):
o Go to the window in which the pdf is open. While pressing the Windows button
on your keyboard, press the Left arrow. This will move the window to the left
portion of the screen.
o Go to the window in which Maple TA is open. While pressing the Windows
button on your keyboard, press the Right arrow. This will move the window to
the right portion of the screen.
Now you can read all the exam questions on the left portion of the screen and give
the answers in the corresponding questions in Maple TA.
Important Maple TA information:
Note that the session shuts down after 60 minutes of inactivity.
Because of the use of MathApps (for drawing polygons), MapleTA does not check
correctly whether you have answered all questions, so you must check this yourself!
Hint for drawing polygons with MathApps: for a sudden change of slope of the
polygon, use two points (but not three!) close to each other. For instance two points
around the maximum or at a location where the curve changes from zero slope to
sloping. See the examples on the next page.
Let questions and MathApps fully load! If you navigate back and forth between
questions without allowing time for the browser to fully load the page and all its
components (editors and MathApps), the results can range from garbled responses to
full reset of answer areas and MathApps to the initial (unanswered) state.
When you are ready choose SUBMIT.
, 1 The target line that you want to produce
2 These 5 points cannot reproduce the line correctly
3 Add one additional point at each location where the target line changes from horizontal to sloping or v.v.
4 Also add an extra point next to the maximum or minimum to have these at the correct location
