  5. What to expect
    The exam will be closed book. I will provide a list of logical implications and equivalences listed in Fact 1.3.1 and 1.3.2. You will have 80 minutes to answer about 10 questions. Some questions may ask you to state and prove a theorem from the list above, others may be like the exercises from your homework assignments. Even if a statement is listed "without proof" above, you must remember the proof of those parts of it that were on a homework assignment!
