    quizzes. These will provide a good model for the types of problems that will be presented on the
    exam (although you will see a few types of questions that were not on a quiz). You are expected
    to be familiar with all content presented on this review sheet. Review the book chapters and
    posted slides carefully. For topics you maybe did not fully understand take advantage of the
