and your crib sheets.

The Final exam covers all the book sections in the homework
readings below, including 7.3-7.4, and 7.6. It is a closed
books, no notes, no electronics exam.


Exam 2

Exam 2 was a take-home exam. It was available on
Gradescope at 5:00 pm on Monday, April 15 and was
due in Gradescope at 11:00 pm on Friday, April 19.
It covered the material up to Friday, April 12.

The rules of Exam 2 were that you could only consult the
textbook, the AFTERMATH lectures, and your own notes.
You had to work alone. No electronic searches, AI, or
calculators, etc.

The best way to prepare for the exam was to keep up
with the reading and notes and to go over homework
problems, especially the ones since Exam 1.

Exam 1 was in-class on Wed, Feb 28. It was a closed books,
no notes, no electronics exam covering

Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.1

You could bring one two-sided crib sheet of standard sized
paper handwritten only on both sides.

and your crib sheet.
