General Direction. This is a close notes exam. Only calculator is allowed to be used in this exam (no
cellphone). Read instructions carefully before answering every part of the exam. Provide extra
paper if necessary. NO Cheating. Cheating is a crime. “All people are born originals; most die
as copies.”
