Course Updates and Announcements

The Final Exam is Wednesday, December 18th in DBRT 155 from 1:45pm-3:45pm.

The Final Exam will be cumulative covering material from Weeks 1-14, but not Week 15. There will be more emphasis on Weeks 11-14, i.e. differential equations. A ``formula sheet" is not allowed. There will not be an emphasis on trigonometric integrals.

Final Exam format: The exam will be 26 multiple choice problems worth 6 points each for a total of 156 points, with 150 points being 100%. Two of the questions are just for fun to lighten the mood and are a guaranteed 6 points each.

Sunday, December 15th, there will be a Q & A Session from 7:00pm-9:00pm in DBRT 131 where Prof. Barron will answer your questions on the Final Exam material. NOTE: This was changed from what was posted before Dec. 3rd!
