Final Exam
The final exam will be Wednesday, December 19, from 4:00 - 7:00, in B&:L 270.
Remember that for the final you may bring one cheat sheet of notes, as for the midterm exam, only now you may write on both sides of the sheet.
The final exam will have the following format: 25 of the 35 points that the final exam counts towards your final course grade will be like a second midterm - the same number and style of questions as the midterm exam, except covering the material since the midterm exam. The remaining 10 of the 35 points will cover material from anywhere in the semester. You will have three hours for the final exam - this should be plenty of time.

Homework and Final Grade - In the computation of your final grade for the course, I have decided to drop the lowest homework grade from your homework average. In determining this lowest grade, your grade will be scaled by the number of possible points for the assignment.
