The final exam is comprehensive. It will cover material
from both textbooks; however, most questions will test material covered
in the second part of the course, from the Kruse and Ryba textbook.
The exam will be closed book but you are allowed to bring
a crib sheet (a normal-sized 8.5x11 in paper). Preparing
a crib sheet is a useful study tool; it helps you to review and organize
the material before the test. Your crib sheet should be written out (no
mechanical or electronic reproductions are allowed). If you use a crib
sheet, you will be asked to turn it in with your test.
