Your final exam scores, on the REAL final exam, look decent. Good work, everybody who has taken it.

Final exam reset

There has been a major fault. I will restart the final exam and give you all plenty of availability. I am very sorry for the stress.

I hope to have it reconfigured by 7:30 PM tonight, and there will be plenty of time, lasting until tomorrow evening.

Stay tuned.

About the final exam

SPECS FOR THE FINAL EXAM:

1. The final exam will be cumulative, from the first day of classes until the end of the semester, including the next two weeks of material.
2. You will get 2 hours, 50 minutes, just like the lecture sections.
3. However, it is scheduled for the "free period" during final exam week, so availability is slightly different: 1:00 - 9:50 PM, so slightly smaller window of time than a midterm.
4. It will be double the size of a midterm, so 80 points, maybe 80 questions or so.
5. You cannot reschedule it. Get your job schedule, travel schedule etc. re-arranged now!
