Exams from Previous Years

Exams from previous instantiations of similar courses.

Here are PDF files of all my exams, some with answers, from my 2nd-semester general chemistry class (271), undergraduate general Biochemistry (461 and 463), and biological information processing classes (465, 661, 662, and 674; grouped because they cover overlapping material). Use at your own risk. The fields and my understanding of them have evolved. Please let me know if you find egregious errors (no regrades!) or especially useful problems.

If you are using these to study, I recommend (1) downloading the blank exams, (2) doing your best to complete them on your own in the time specified, (3) answering anything else that you can answer with more time or a little research, and (4) then and only then looking at the keys.
