DM510, Spring 2010

Daniel Merkle

Exam

Information regarding the procedure and questions of the oral exam (June 12th, 10:30am) can be found here.

Although the Exam Information says "You are not supposed to use note material, textbooks, transparencies, computer, etc." you are allowed to bring keywords for each question, such that you can remember what you want to present during your presentation. As a guideline you are expected to not have more than 10 keywords per question on the list, that you bring to the oral exam. Note that this list is expected to be put on the table during your oral exam.

You will be able to use the blackboard during the oral exam.
