The final exam will be open-book: you can bring any
material you like. It will cover all of the course. There
will be five questions. Each part of each question will
have a percentage listed. For each question, these sum to
25%. Your total score on the exam will be the sum of the
four highest scores for these five questions. Therefore
you need only answer four questions, but you may answer
all five if you wish.
