- Exam format: For my portion of the exam, most questions will be short-answer format, similar to the homework questions I've been posting. In most cases a single word provides a clear and adequate answer. Remember that writing too much can often get you in trouble--the more you say, the more likely you are to say something misleading! A small number of questions will require a longer answer.
