Announcements:

(5/6)  The class average for Exam 3 was 65, which is pretty good for this exam.  The high score was 100 and the low score was 35.  The answer key is on the Download page and the worked out solutions will be posted shortly.

The FINAL EXAM is Wednesday, 5/15, 1 to 3 pm.  The rooms will be the same as for Exam 3.  You will need the same scan tron as for the midterm exams.  As discussed in lecture most of the questions will be taken from your midterm exams and modified, but there will also be a few questions on the material covered since Exam 3.  See the Exam 4 study guide on the download page for details and sample problems on the new material.

There will be NO HELPROOM THIS WEEK, but we will have helproom hours next week in case you have questions heading into the final on Wednesday. The hours are posted on the Helproom page.
