Exam 2 will occur next week.

Remember to reserve your exam slot at https://us.prairietest.com/.

The exam will have similar structure to Exam 1. It will focus on material covered in the MPs and HWs that are due between Exam 1 and Exam 2: HW5, HW6, MP4, MP5, and MP6. Note that this includes MPs in both C and Python; you should expect coding questions on the exam in both languages. As with Exam 1, clicker questions from lecture are also worth reviewing.
