The final exam will be from 3-6pm, Monday, May 8, in our old room Smith 243. The exam will be comprehensive, but will emphasize the material since the second in-class test (so about 1/2 - 2/3 of the final exam will be on Chapters 7 and 10).
We've changed rooms: We will be in 352 Conklin Hall for the rest of the semester.
