Course NewsThe practical final exam is next week, during the normally scheduled labs. You must go to the lab to which you are registered. I highly recommend you spend a few hours on the lab computers to make sure you are familiar with their software versions and configurations. The practical final exam is cumulative and is designed to test your knowledge of all concepts learned in labs during the semester. Updated review materials can be found below.
Good luck!
