What to Study

• Make sure you have the take home points from the lectures. That should be enough to pass (and you probably won't pass if you don't have at least most of them).
• Read! There was reading almost every week.
• Some of the readings were long and some short. You should be able to spend about the same amount of time on the readings from each week.
• Do the sample exams. Try to do them before you look at the answers.
• Ask each other questions.
• Do the labs. Many of the labs are on topics that are on the examination. Writing programs really does help you understand concepts.
• Read beyond. Read the long readings. Read on the internet. The Wikis are good. There are a lot of really good papers out there.
• Come see me if you have questions.
