Instructions: READ CAREFULLY

All smartphones or smart devices must kept off of your desk.

Any cheating will result in receiving zero points on the exam.

Write clearly. Exams will not be regraded if the work and answer are not legible.

You may not leave the room during the exam. If you must leave to go to the bathroom, please
give the exam to the Professor (not a proctor).

The exam duration is exactly 1 hour 15 minutes.

You must show your work to receive partial or full credit.
