IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

FINAL EXAM: Saturday, May 14, 3:00-5:00 PM in regular classroom.

Review session: Thursday, May 12. 6:00PM, Prescott 205.

In general, every problem on the final will resemble a past homework problem; any homework problem is potential fair game for the final. See past courses for sample final to review.

Assignments in Chapter 16:

Take-home assignment (counts as 30-point quiz), due May 11, 2005:

Optional Extra Credit work, due May 11, 2005.

Note: extra credit can raise your grade at most 1 letter.
