| This is a good observation and an important question, so let me clarify. The final is cumulative. However, since we didn't have a third "midterm" there will be a greater emphasis on material from the last third of the semester that hasn't yet been tested. Not only have we not assessed your knowledge yet on the material introduced in the final third of the semester, we hadn't reviewed it until these review questions were posted. It is obviously more important to review material that we haven't yet gone over in this way, and you should already be more familiar with the information from the first two thirds of the semester. In preparing for the final, you could look at these review questions and also go back and look at the midterm reviews. That way you will get an even more balanced preparation for the most recent material and the older stuff. The review sessions on Sunday will concentrate on these questions, but if you have any about the midterm reviews, you can bring those up too. Colin Potts |
