| 1 | Final Midterm-Style Mock Questions | Closest to the doctor's actual wording style: long scenario stems, constraints, hints, and rationale-based prompts. |
| 2 | Final Midterm-Style Model Solutions | Full model answers for the midterm-style mock questions. |
| 3 | Final Dr-Style Question Bank | Closest to expected final format: 30-point structure, 10-point Q1 candidates, and short conceptual questions. |
| 4 | HW Conceptual Exam Question Types | Answer skeletons for behavior questions: observation, mechanism, exploration/exploitation, HW tie, fix. |
| 5 | HW Plot Behavior Audit | Real report plots and how to describe CB/BSF behavior. |
| 6 | HW Algorithm Competition Analysis | Explains how algorithms competed and how item-size distribution changed performance. |
| 7 | Topic notes: AS/ACS, PSO, DE, Coevolution | Use for post-GA comprehension and parameter/behavior questions. |

Question shapes and answer formulas for behavior, plots, parameter extremes, and HW observation prompts.
Homework And Plot Analysis
HWHW Algorithm Competition Analysis
How HC, TS, GA, DE, PSO, AS, and ACS competed, plus what each mechanism added conceptually.
PLOTSHW Plot Behavior Audit
Captured graphs from the HW reports with CB/BSF-style observations and algorithm/instance notes.
Post-GA Topic Notes
ACOAS / ACS Exam Concepts
Constructive search, pheromone memory, AS vs ACS, transition rules, BPP examples, and exploration/exploitation behavior.
COEVOCoevolution Exam Concepts
Internal vs external fitness, 1-population competitive, 2-population competitive, cooperative coevolution, and niching.
DEDE Exam Concepts
Differential movement, exploitation/exploration behavior, random-key encoding, BPP limitations, and CB/BSF behavior.
PSOPSO Exam Concepts
Personal best, informants, global best, velocity behavior, random draws, and BPP adaptation.
