Today you began working on the Final Exam Preview. You'll receive the second half of it tomorrow, and will have all of tomorrow and Wednesday to work on it in class and ask questions. It should be completed by the end of class on Wednesday, which will give you one final evening to study for your Final.

We will take our Final Exam starting on Thursday (it may take you more than one day). You should be doing everything in your power to be supremely prepared for it. The Preview is your best resource, but don't discount old tests, notes, and assignments.
