Studying from old exams is not recommended (because instructors and course content change from year to year), but we know some students nevertheless like to see the old exams. EXAMS from years 2005 and 2006 will be on e-reserve at the Library of Science and Medicine: www.libraries.rutgers.edu Click on Course No. 16-115-502 or Kozak (instructor).
