So, if Benjamin Arora is your discussion instructor, then you will take your
final exam in Gross Hall 103. Everyone else will take their final exam in Gross
Hall 107.
The exam will consist of mostly free-response problems with a few fill in
the blank and multiple choice questions. You should be prepared to solve
problems that you have not seen before.
The exam is cumulative, so you should be prepared for every
topic covered throughout the semester to be represented on the exam.
The exam will be "closed" in the sense that no outside aid (like books or
calculators) will be allowed. The only thing you need to bring is a writing
utensil.
