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.
