Exam Review Class:
I have to cancel the exam review class since all the classrooms are booked for exams. Instead of the review class, I am holding office hours on Tuesday 4:00 to 7:00 pm.
TIPS to Do Well in the exam:
Make sure you can do all the assignments and two term tests. Focus on the materials I covered during the lectures. If you missed any class, get the lecture notes from your classmates. Posted lecture slides are not enough. Read the textbook chapters. Question C1 of Assignment 3, C1 of Assignment of 4, and C1 & C2 of Assignment 5 are very important for your final exam. Make sure you can answer these kinds of questions.
