Materials to be covered in the final exam will focus more on
those chapters and sections after Exam II.
But, there will be problems from earlier chapters and sections
to test your understanding of previous topics.
Moreover, the grading policy for "recycled" problems is
all-or-nothing unless your mistakes are very very minor.
Don't forget to elaborate your answer if an elaboration is required.
Otherwise, you will receive a 0 even though
your answer is a correct one.
Don't forget to bring in a calculator.
