Review Materials
The links below include guidelines and topics for each quiz and exam. Practice problems are included if you need additional review for a particular topic. Use the answer keys to check your understanding of the concepts. To optimize your review, it may NOT be necessary to complete all of the practice problems below; focus your time on the topics you are having most difficulty with. Disclaimer: Practice Exams from previous semesters may cover more or less material than the current semester. No two problems will likely ever be the same. Avoid memorizing how to solve a specific problem, and instead focus on the concepts and logic necessary to problem solve.
