Tips on how to study for the exam:
-
You do not have to remember universal constants. They
will be provided if needed.
-
You do not have to remember dates.
-
You are expected to know all fundamental equations :).
-
Make sure you understand all homework problems +quizzes +In
class practice problems at least we had 8 (you can share the questions through
WebCT and private discussion, questions are not posted in the class).
-
Read all provided slides and make sure you understand every single
word. I will be more than happy to provide any help.
-
The course has some informative part (slides) and some analytical
and design part. You should be ready for any type of questions.
-
Read the text book especially the parts that are not clear for you
or the parts that was mentioned specifically.
