Announcements
Final exam and course numerical grades are posted
Final exam solutions are posted.
Final exam is this Monday June 9th, 8am, HSS 1330.
Covers Chpts. 13 to 20 of the textbook. Please bring a blank
blue book, a pen, a calculator, and
a formula sheet made by yourself (1 page two-sided 8.5x11'', words
and pictures ok).
Write your exam in pen rather than pencil since there will be no regrading for
exams written in pencil. There is no penalty for crossing out any amount of stuff. Show your work,
since no credit will be given for correct answers without supporting work, and partial
credit will be given for incorrect answers with correct supporting work. Write clearly. Circle the final
answers so they are easier to find.
