CISC 181 <br>
Review for Exam #3<br>
Disclaimer - while this list SHOULD cover everything, it MAY not.  Don't argue after the final if there happens to be something on the final that wasn't mentioned in this list.
<br><br>
** EXTRA HELPFUL WARNING - This is a LOT of material.  Exam 1 was a lot of review, so you maybe didn't have to study too much, and Exam 2, while hard material, there wasn't much of it.  This is both a LOT of material and fairly challenging, and this test is worth 20% of your grade vs. 15% for the others tests.  Finish strong! <br>
