Final Exam! The Final is:

• Worth 30% of your grade,
• Comprehensive with a strong emphasis on Chapters 4-6 and second half lecture material,
• About 1/3 written and 2/3 problem-solving in the lab,
• Similar in format to the Midterm (if you haven't caught on to that one yet)

You may bring 1 side of 1 page of notes to the exam.

Time will be a factor, so don't show up late!

done... yow, bill

PS - there will be an optional Final Exam study session Thursday at 9:20 pm... we'll meet on the 2nd floor of Carnegie and then pick a lab.
