Studying Suggestions

The lab questions assigned in this course were designed to give you an opportunity to apply the concepts learned in the lectures. For this reason, it is a good idea to review the questions you had trouble with in the labs.

You can also try the recommended problems given in the course outline. These are especially useful if you need to review a particular area.
