New: Exam 3
is now available and is due on Saturday, December 6, 2003, 12:00 noon.
Important Note:
(1) Solve this exam without using the help of any external sources, especially the textbook or the online units. A distance exam requires extremely high standards of academic honesty. If you fail to comply, you risk failing the complete course and further consequences (see unit 1).
(2) The total time available for this exam is 75 minutes. By submitting the file to me, you confirm to have spent not more than 75 minutes on this test. Any trace of excess working on the file will be considered as academic dishonesty, too.
