CS185C Spring 2004Practice Final
To study for the midterm I would suggest
you: (1) Know how to do (by heart) all the practice problems. (2)
Go over your notes three times. Second and third time try to see how huch
you can remember from the first time. (3) Go over the homework problems.
(4) Try to create your own problems similar to the ones I have given and
solve them. (5) Skim the relevant sections from the book. (6) If you want
to study in groups, at this point you are ready to quiz each other.
The practice final is below. Here are some facts about the actual
final: (a) The final will be in class Wednesday, May 26 12:15pm to 2:30 pm in the usual classroom.. (b) It is closed

your pen (pencil) and test. (c) You should bring photo ID.
(d) There will be more than one version of the test. Each version
will be of comparable difficulty. (e) If your cell-phone or beeper

on what you have done till your excusal. (f) One problem (less typos)
on the actual test will be from the practice test.
