All exams are open textbook and open notes. Don't let this deter you from studying thoroughly - the exams will consist primarily of thought questions that require you to use the material covered in class and the text (i.e., you won't be able to look any answer up!). You will be required to use the textbook as a reference for tables of data and equations.
