Your final examination is scheduled on December 13 (section #1- starting at 9:40 am; section #2 starting at 4:10 pm). If you are not sure of your section number, please ask me! Bring a pencil or pen and the correct answers (in your head). I recommend that you start preparing immediately. The study questions below represent the topics that will be emphasized on the test. Historically, people that have done well on my examinations prepared lengthy answers to the study questions using both the class notes and text book information. We will discuss these questions in more detail during the review session on December 6.
