Exam Writing Tips

ï For important concepts in this course, be able to:
ï state the concept,
ï explain the concept, and
ï give examples from lab projects, to illustrate the concept;
ï or give examples from the videos, as applicable.

ï All work will be graded, if you do not want something to be graded, strike it
out and put in a note not to grade it.

ï Read the question carefully and collect your thoughts before answering. For
