Exam Review

Past exams

The following are the practice and real exams prepared for last year when the course was taught by Prof Tychonievich and Prof Graham. Even though we may have explained a few ideas slightly differently than in prior semesters, these should be considered good baselines for what to expect in exams this year.

Sometimes exams contained typos, resulting in more lenient grading that the key would indicate. In some, but not all, cases those typos were corrected before being posted here.
