Exams

The library is once again brimming with students preparing for their final exams. I have my calculus exam at the end of the month so I am in the library studying the various integration technique. The on-campus Tim Hortons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Hortons) is doing a brisk business. I'm not a Tim Horton's coffee drinker, but I imbib on there steeped tea. One of the challenges I usually set for myself is to see how good a job I can do predicting what is on the final exam. Over the thirteen weeks the lecturer usually drops a fair number of hints and you sort of get a feel for his/her favorite types of questions. I'm usually good at predicting this, so I'll let you all know if my predictions were good, fair or poor.
