LATEST CHANGES TO SITE

• Nov. 20: Posted assignment for Dec. 2nd class and Final Exam from Fall 2007.
• Posted final exams from past years.
• Posted audio recording (See "Other Class Materials") and mind maps (See "Class Mind Maps") from November 4th, Election Day, class. Note that we used two mind maps on that date, so look at both while listening to the audio.

Course Syllabus

I have posted a page collecting some of the student questions I have answered during the final exam preparation period. Check back often.

Two review sessions are planned:

• On Thursday, December 4th, during our usual class time, I will spend the hour answering student questions about anything we have covered in the course. Please send me your questions in advance!
• At our second review session, on Saturday, December 6th, at 2pm, I will be reviewing the exam from Fall 2006. The exam and solution are linked below, under "Other Class Materials." To make the most of the review session, I recommend you look at the exam from Fall 2006 only after a bit of preparation and, ideally, in a simulated test situation. The review session may last more than an hour.
