The following are examples of what exams in this class might look like. They are NOT practice exams. They may differ in form and content from the exams given this term.
Note: These sample exams were taken at a time when students were required to use a Blue Book. We will not be using Blue Books this quarter, and consequently the format of the exams will be different.
