  • To study for this exam, you should work on the study guide (assuming I get one made in time). While reading over the notes and the text is important, the single most important thing you can do to study is to do as many problems as possible beyond the study guide. Choose new problems from the book and combine those with re-doing old homework problems. The key, though, is to actually work them out, not to just look at old solutions and say "yeah, yeah, I know how to do that".
  • Continue to come to office hours to clear up any possible lingering difficulties. It is important that you not put this off until Monday.
  • Remember: you can have 1 page of notes (front side only, handwritten by you) for the exam.
