Final Exam Scope

Scope: Content from slides and lectures, but focussed on the new concepts learned since the midterm.

Final Exam”Cheat-Sheet” and Exam Materials

As for the midterm, you can use two sheets of paper (US Letter or A4), double sided, to create notes on it of your own creation. I encourage handwritten because when I’ve allowed it to be printed in the past, many people end up just getting a shared document from their peers, and the best thing about a “cheat sheet” is how much you remember and learn by making it yourself. Studies show that you learn much better from notes written by hand under space or time constraints than electronic reference documents. You can also your midterm cheat-sheet again, so a total of four pages.

• Pen and pencil (a pencil is suggested for multiple choice questions so you can erase it if needed).
• Calculator - for arithmetic calculations
• Your midterm cheatsheet, up to two pages of notes for first half of course
• You final exam cheatsheet, up to two additional pages of notes
• Valid UWaterloo student ID (WatCard)
