No Reading Questions Today
Reminders:

• Bring questions on PS 4 to class Monday. PS 4 is a group assignment.
• While you should always have done the problem set before Monday, it is especially important this week, as two of the three sections covered on the problem set will be covered on the exam. Make sure every member of your group has a photocopy of the problem set, to study from.
• For the exam, you may have a "cheat sheet" . Your cheat sheet must follow these guidelines:
  • It must be on 8 1/2 x 11 paper (or smaller)
  • There can only be writing on one side of the paper.
  • Your notes must be in your handwriting. (No typing, no photocopying, no getting a friend to help you write it.) The handwriting must be on that paper (no photocopying pieces of your notes.)
• The exam is during lab. You may begin taking it at 12:30pm. Don't forget to bring your calculator and your "cheat sheet".
