Instructions
1. This is the first page of your exam. The previous page is a title page and does not have a page
number. Since this is a take-home exam, no need to sign above since you won’t submit this file.
2. Read problem descriptions carefully. You may not receive any credit if you answer the wrong
question. Furthermore, if a problem says “in N words or less”, use that as a hint that N words or
less are expected in the answer (your answer can be longer if you want). Please note that points
may get deducted if you put in wrong stuff in your answer.
3. If a question doesn’t say weenix, please do not give weenix-specific answers.
4. Write answers to all problems in the answers text file.
5. For non-multiple-choice and non-fill-in-the blank questions, please show all work (if applicable
and appropriate). If you cannot finish a problem, your written work may help us to give you
partial credit. We may not give full credit for answers only (i.e., for answers that do not show
any work). Grading can only be based on what you wrote and cannot be based on what’s on
your mind when you wrote your answers.
6. Please do not just draw pictures to answer questions (unless you are specifically asked to draw
pictures). Pictures will not be considered for grading unless they are clearly explained with
words, equations, and/or formulas. It’s very difficult to draw pictures in a text file and you are
not permitted to submit additional files other than the answers text file.
7. For problems that have multiple parts, please clearly label which part you are providing answers
for.
8. Please ignore minor spelling and grammatical errors. They do not make an answer invalid or
incorrect.
9. During the exam, please only ask questions to clarify problems. Questions such as “would it be
okay if I answer it this way” will not be answered (unless it can be answered to the whole class).
Also, you are suppose to know the definitions and abbreviations/acronyms of all technical terms.
We cannot “clarify” them for you. We also will not answer any clarification-type question for
multiple choice problems since that would often give answers away.
10. Unless otherwise specified and stated explicitly, multiple choice questions have one or more
correct answers. You will get points for selecting correct ones and you will lose points for
selecting wrong ones.
11. When we grade your exam, we must assume that you wrote what you meant and you meant
what you wrote. So, please write your answers accordingly.
