The exam will be closed book/closed notes. That said, you will have access to this course website and also to D2L and therefore access to the lecture notes, the code from the book, and the homework solutions (posted on D2L). The exam will consist of questions evaluating your understanding of the concepts in Chapters 10 and 11 of the textbook. All questions will require you to write Python code. In order to prepare for the exam, read the relevant chapters in the textbook, read the relevant lecture notes, and review all Python code we have seen. Make sure you can solve the practice problems in the relevant chapters in the textbook as well as all lab/homework and lecture problems and also the below Final Practice Exams.
