Most
important thing today - any questions about your exam. But,
I think did most of that last time. Are there questions different
from Friday? Any new topics? Please remember - the next week
is important. Take it seriously. And please oh please
let's not have issues about academic integrity. You may
access _NO_ materials during the exam. If you violate this,
you will fail the _course_ and be reported for an academic

I
will be available regular office hours and Thursday 1-3p in South
336 and a special office hour finale Thursday evening at 8p in S.
