Announcements

• REALLY VERY LAST ANNOUNCEMENT Here is the final midterm answer key and grading guide. Have a good summer everyone.
• REALLY LAST ANNOUNCEMENT please note the time change for the review session - It used to say 7pm,
  but I forgot that I have an extra class on Tuesday that goes until 7:45pm. So the review
  session will have to wait until 8pm.
• FINAL ANNOUNCEMENTS I will still have office hours on monday even though there is no class.
  There won't be section on Tuesday afternoon, instead we will have a review session
  tuesday night at 8pm at the Baskin Whiteboards. This will be the only review session for
  the final exam. I will have office hours on Wednesday as usual. On another topic,
  shortly after the finals period is over, I will be removing all the answer keys and
  homework solutions from this website, so if you want to have a copy of these files, please
  download them soon.
