The student homeworks/projects and exams were the main evaluation tools in this course, since a large part of the learning of the course material was associated with the student's effort on the HW and Extra Credit (EC) assignments, and the exams gave the instructor a reasonable snapshot of the individual student's overall understanding. The material covered in these evaluation instruments hit upon all the major topics that the students really needed to master, so I have also included a copy of these assessment tools from Fall 2016 here so that future students can also benefit from these exercises. Thus, the links to the Fall 2016 student assignments, along with (some rather poorly) scanned versions of the instructor's solutions, are given below. In addition, I have also included the exams given during the Fall 2016 semester without solutions -- since I want you to attempt these on your own as self-assessment exercises to evaluate your understanding of the material. Good Luck...
