Some More Details on Final Exam

The way I have made quizzes and exams in the past (and same method will be used on Final) is the following. I look at the lecture slides -- each of them present and try to explain a single (or a small number) of concepts. I make up a question which tests understanding of the concept explained on that slide. So if you go over all the slides for the lectures, and make sure that you understand what is being said on all of them, you should be in good shape for the final exam.

The labs just provide numerical and hands on practice for this same thing -- no additional or new concepts are introduced in the labs, just asking the student to do the same computations which have already been carried out in the lecture slides.

FInal Exam

Final Exam will be in-class written exam. It will cover the whole course. The pattern will be similar to the questions that have been asked in the online quizzes. For the lectures for which there was no online quiz, the pattern will be similar to the types of questions worked out in the labs.

The Exam is scheduled for Monday, June 30th, 9:30am to 12:30  on what is likely to be the first day of Ramazan. Study hard and do well.
