To give you an idea of what sort of exam questions will be asked, refer to an old final exam: oldexam_cs426_winter2008.pdf. However, note that the actual content of the course has changed somewhat since then, so several of the questions may not make sense as study material.
Midterm (10%): Friday October 28 12-1pm (in class). Here are example solutions: midterm_solved.pdf. Note that for some questions there was ambiguity allowing for other correct answers.
Final (30%): Wednesday December 14, 8:30-11am, in room DMP 301.
