An old exam 2 can be found at PreviousExams.zip. Please DO NOT ASSUME your exam will have all similar problems to this old exams. In other words, study everything in the slides and examples, not just the topics covered on this exam.

The best way to prepare is to practice problems discussed / suggested in lecture, to study the projects you implemented and review the lectures/slides. I would suggest you set aside 50 minutes and take the old exam as if it was a real exam. Next check you answers and try to learn from your mistakes.
