Notes
The test will be closed book, but you can bring up to 10 pages of notes, 5.8 by 11 both sides. Any page is fine, written any way you like. It can be both sides or one side, handwritten or typed, any font size. If you have legal-size paper around, that's ok too. If you wanted to do both sides but dislike flipping pages, you can do two one-sided sheets instead.
Format
Format will be a lot like the midterm.
