Final Exam 2:15 p.m., Saturday January 21, 2006 I nstructions 1. Do not turn this page until so instructed. 2. This exam is three hours long. 3. The exam has five parts for a total of 100 points. 4. Please put each question in a separate blue book (five blue books total). Put your name and Harvard ID number on the cover of each blue book. 5. You are permitted one two-sided 8½” x 11” sheet of notes, plus a calculator. Computers and wireless devices are not permitted without prior permission. You may not share resources with anyone else. 6. Turn in this exam when you finish. (An electronic copy of the exam with answers will be posted on the course Web site in a few days, and hard copies of the exam will be available when you pick up your graded blue books.) 7. Some questions ask you to draw a real-world judgment in a problem of practical importance. The quality of that judgment counts. For example, consider the question: “It is 10oF outside. In your judgment, why are so many people wearing heavy coats?” The answer, “To stay warm” would receive more points than the answer, “Because they are fashion-conscious.” |
