Common Limitations or Challenges
This document is a *review* – it assumes prior learning. It doesn’t provide in-depth explanations of concepts, nor does it offer practice problems with solutions. It’s a memory aid, not a substitute for attending lectures, completing assignments, or reading the textbook. Users will still need a thorough understanding of the course material to succeed on the exam.
