"How should I study for the exams?"   The topics (calculations/drawings/concepts) we cover in class are the most important indicators of what questions will be on the test (the more time we spend on a topic in the classroom, the more likely that will show up on the exam). After that comes the group projects (those are "important" problems that I wanted you to look at). Next comes the homework/suggested problems (but, for those .. I can ask "tougher" questions, since you have, in theory, more time to work on them). In conclusion, your class notes (with reference back to those parts of the books) and the group projects are probably the best things to study. [Previous exams might have some problems that fit those criteria {or may not!} - they are another possible resource, but I am NOT assuming that you have looked at the old exams when I make up the new one.]


 Hot Topics : My thoughts on Homework/Past Exams/Etc. (I suggest you look at this!)

 Previous Exams:    

First, the "previous exams" are just that - exams I have given in the past. Obviously the "types" of problems will be the similar, but just because you can do a problem from the old exam doesn't mean you can do them from the new exam (each term is a little different - different types of problems are emphasized).

If you notice any errors on the solutions, please bring them to my attention!
