Review Pages
Friday 4/28/06 - As I promised the other day in class, here are the REVIEW PAGES for your Final Exam on Tuesday 5/9 12:00-2:00 p.m. in our classroom. the Questions that I'll be designing over this weekend, will be based ONLY on these pages, and I'll present the exam-format as such in class on WED 5/3, our last class-day. I'll type it up onto this web-page, as I did for the Midterm. The Final will be similar in format to the Midterm - that is: the in-class paragraph-style PARTS will have choices # out of #; and probably a Matching Column too. We'll do our Retrospective next week, as per the Syllabus, on WED, tho' we may begin on MON if time allows. So, I encourage you to REread the following pages, several per day, and you'll find the Final to be "a piece o' cake." : > )
