Midterm Exam
There will be an in-class Tuesday March 10 (worth 10% of the final course grade). It will be a paper exam of no more than 80 minutes. The exam is closed book.
Further details will be provided when we get closer to the midterm dates.
Final Exam - TBD
There will be a final exam, administered in person on paper.
It will be three hours long.
The exam is closed book. You may bring two (2)
double-sided 8½″×11″ (“letter”) or A4-sized sheets of notes,
with anything you want written or printed on them, but you may not
refer to any other book, document, or online reference during the
exam.
You may also bring as many pens, pencils, and sheets of scratch
paper as you want. Some pens and blank paper will be available
from the exam proctors.
You are not permitted to use a calculator or any other
electronic aid.
Everything covered in the course is fair game, including all of the
assigned textbook readings (whether or not also covered in lecture)
and lab material.
You may be asked to draw diagrams. You can do this either on
paper. If you choose
to draw on paper, be aware that illegible handwriting will earn
you zero points.
Your TAs will hold an exam review shortly before the exam.
To study, read each chapter and work in study groups to review slides,
review your own notes, work the practice problems in the book,
and do problems from previous exams.
Questions will be broadly similar to those asked in the written
assignments, but may be more difficult. They will also be broadly
similar to the questions asked in the old exams which are archived
below.
We provide one up-to-date practice exam, where the style and format
of questions will be similar to the final exam. Note that the length
of the exam may not be accurately represented.
