- 2.) No notes, books, calculator, or classmates may be used as resources for this exam.
- 3.) You will be graded on proper use of limit and indeterminate form notation.
- 4.) You may NOT use L'Hopital's Rule to compute limits on this exam.
- 5.) You may NOT use shortcuts from the textbook for finding limits to infinity on this exam.
- 6.) Put units on answers where units are appropriate.
- 7.) Make sure to include graphs and sketches when it is part of the problem-solving process.
- 8.) Read directions to each problem carefully. Show all work for full credit. In most cases, a correct answer with no supporting work will NOT receive full credit.
