NEW!! Below is a practice exam for you to use in getting ready for EXAM 2. This is the Exam 2 from my Fall 2017 EECS 211 class. Be aware that it does not include an OpAmp problem, but this semester's Exam 2 may include one. You should allow yourself the full 120 minutes to take this practice exam.

You should use this as a practice exam, NOT as a study guide. That is, this exam does NOT cover all possible topics that could be included on your Exam 2, but it can be useful for you for exam PRACTICE. To use it this way, start by studying and preparing for Exam 2. Then print the practice exam, but DON'T LOOK AT IT. Then, set aside a 120-minute block of time and find a quiet place where you can work uninterrupted, and take the practice exam as though it was a real exam. After 120 minutes, stop. Solutions to this practice exam will be posted later, over the weekend (please email me if they are not posted by Saturday evening). You should look at the solutions ONLY AFTER you have taken the practice exam, in order to check your work on the practice exam.

OK, after all that, click here for the practice exam.
