DS300 - FALL 2017 Dr. Squicciarini
Study Guide The exam is in class on Sept 21st - it should take max 45 minutes. We will discuss in class how to use the study guide. For every learning module, there is a list of main topics discussed in class and related readings. Case studies and examples need not to be known in depth but understood in the context of one or more of the listed topics. The exam questions will mainly be based on material from lectures (and also what we discussed in the readings); some questions will be based on material that is only covered in the reading material, and others will only come from lecture. Remember, you won’t be asked about simple definitions or facts – so make sure you understand the following concepts.
