Prelims and Final exam
TAM 202, Spring 2001All tests are closed book, closed notes, no calculators.
Students who can do all the homework problems on their own and justify each step, with no recent reference to notes or books, will do well on the prelims and final exam. If you find this is not the case please make an appointment to talk with Andy Ruina.
Strive to do homework and exam solutions that are as clear, neat and complete as the homework and prelim solutions posted on the WWW. If you find those not clear enough, than strive to be more clear.
