Common Limitations or Challenges
This document presents the exam questions themselves, but does *not* include solutions, detailed explanations, or worked-out examples. It is designed to test your existing knowledge, not to teach new concepts. Successfully navigating this exam requires a strong foundation in the course material and the ability to independently apply learned techniques. The document also does not provide access to the datasets referenced within the questions.
