Grades/Tests

Your final grade will be determined by:

Final Exam      50% - April 18 from 10am-noon in PT473 (normal lecture room)

Projects           50%    

This equation sheet will be placed on the last page of the exam for your convenience (it is taken from a third year course I am teaching). equation_sheet.pdf

Some of previous exams are below:

Solutions are not available (since this is a graduate course, you should be able to determine the solutions yourself through self study).
