I just have a quick question about his final exam style (Bip2A03)... Does he recycle many questions? What are his short answer like? Is it generally more difficult?

Any info would be awesome, thanks in advance.

did your midterms have short answers on them?

i remember ours didnt and then they told us that our exam would, which was retarded. i do think they gave us practice questions though before the exam, so i can see if i can dig them up later today. when is your exam?

I disagree. Yes the labs can be better organized but in terms of the tests I find its fine. The test questions were quite straightforward and usually the answers were predictable even if you weren't sure of the answer. If this is the way the exam is written I don't see it being hard at all.

Are you kidding?

There has been so many problems with tests if you haven't noticed the flame wars going on in the discussion forum. There are also countless spelling mistakes as well its bothersome.
