The final exam will take place in the classroom. See the class schedule for details. You will have a 3 hour time limit. The exam is closed book, and you may have two pages of notes handwritten or typed by you. One of those two pages could be the page of notes you prepared for the mid-term exam (as long as they were in compliance with the policy in the syllabus). No calculators or digital assistants (you won't need one). I think a well-prepared student will be able to complete the exam in two hours. You’re going to do well!
The format could consist of any combination of short answers, worked mathematical solutions, multiple choice, or even some T/F.
Always be ready to show your work. You will be graded not only on the correctness of your answer, but also on the clarity with which you express your rationale for your answer; plan to be neat. It is your job to make your understanding clear to us; non-neat work is likely to earn a lower grade. If using a pencil (rather than a pen) helps you be neat, please plan accordingly.
I recommend the following activities to study the topics covered by the exam:
