• Midterm and final exams will cover materials presented in the lectures and labs. Topics covered in the lectures/labs are available on the class webpage. Materials in the textbook that are not covered in lectures/labs may be ignored when you prepare the exams, but these materials may help you to better understand those presented in lectures. Note that some materials/examples presented in the labs/lectures may not be posted online but they may appear in the exams, so it is important to attend the labs/lectures.
