    • Do the reading and try the excercises without looking at the answers. Come to precept with questions about problems that you encounter. You are encouraged to collaborate with others in the class on this material. Do not hand in solutions. You are responsible for learning this material in a timely fashion. Doing so will help you learn more from the programming assignments, lectures, and precepts. Tests will be closed book, and drawn from these exercises.

    Another good way to prepare for an exam is to answer old exam questions. The course packet includes some of these. Here are detailed solutions to some of the problems. You will benefit much more by attempting the problems first, then checking the solutions.
