There will be review sessions, one before each of the exams, at which you can ask questions. These will be scheduled by agreement between the class and me at times different from the class sessions.

The final exam will be on Wednesday, December 16, 2:30-4:30 pm   in the lecture room. (Comment -- that is the time and date that is assigned by the University's scheduling system, in order to avoid conflicts between exams of different classes. Please keep it in mind when making your December break plans).
