- Part 2

Here’s the exam!
Surprise! It’s a take-home exam so you can have 5 days to answer the questions.
All responses are due before class Tue, Apr 14.
Be prepared for cross-examination. If I suspect plagiarism or misrepresentation I will ask you to explain your answer verbally and adjust your score accordingly.
Check the “Upload Map” question at the end of the exam. You’ll want to think about it so don’t save it for the last second.
