+You will be allowed a cheat sheet of any material you want, in your own handwriting, on one side of an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of paper. I advise you to use the cheat sheet for Laplace transforms and general prescriptions about the classification and methods of solution of ODEs, rather than copying worked-out examples.
+The approximate format of the exam will be
+  * one 1st order problem (linear, separable, exact)
+  * one or two 2nd order linear const coeff problems (homogeneous, judicious guessing, variation of parameters, reduction of order) (maybe two of these)
+  * one 2nd order linear const coeff problem (Laplace transforms)
+  * one series solution problem
+  * one linear system problem (matrix ODE)
+  * one conceptual problem
+Here is a {{:gibson:teaching:fall-2011:math527:exams:practicefinal.pdf|Practice Final Exam}}. And here are some brief solutions {{:gibson:teaching:fall-2011:math527:homework:math527-practicefinal-solns.pdf|Practice Final Exam Solutions}}.
+Good luck!
