Weekly Quiz and Solutions
This short quiz is given approximately once for every three lecture sessions. You should work through the quiz problems in preparation for the exam problems.
Exam Problems and Solutions

After you’ve taken the exam, watch the help session videos below for insights into how to approach some of the exam problems.
