Lecture notes for the Introduction to problem solving with applications by James Tam

CPSC 203: Information about the second exam

^{Exam instructions (they will be from actual exam so you
should read them beforehand)}

Duration: 60 Minutes
DO NOT START the exam until you are told to do so.
Make sure that you use a PEN (no pencils) for both the multiple choice and the written sections.

The lecture material: the PowerPoint slides will provide you with an outline of the topics to be covered. However studying the information just listed on the slides won't be sufficient to do well on the final exam. You will also need to take notes in class and to study and understand those notes. If you have any questions then make sure that you ask me for help and clarification.
The text book: they should be used as another source of material to help you understand the material as you prepare for the exam. I won't however directly examine you on material that is listed in the textbooks that I didn't cover in class.
Tutorial material: I won't be directly examining you on this material (unless it overlaps with the lecture material)
