Here is some of the exam info I went over in class today.

The exam lasts up to 5 hrs, which means you can have that much time if
you need it. I am hoping it wont take nearly that long.

There are 12 problems, which are a mixture of qualitative answer
questions, short calculations, and more involved calculations. The
longer calculation problems are a little less involved than the
midterm problems you saw.

I will print the exam with one problem per sheet, so do all of you
work to be handed in on those sheets.

You can have two 8.5 x 11 sheets to write equations, constants,
etc. on. You can use both sides of the sheets.

I will have each exam in my office (Stokes 111) in an envelope for you
to pick up and take it where you want to. In order to pick up the
exam, you must turn in an evaluation sheet to the folder marked P102
in my office. I will remind you on the exam to write your address
where you will be in early summer so I can mail you the exam and your
grade. When you are done with the exam, return it to my office or
mailbox in Stokes. You can pick the exam up Mon 5/6 through Fri 5/10
or Mon 5/13 through Fri 5/17 during normal hours. If you want to take
it over the weekend, pick up on Fri /5/10. All exams are due 4 pm Fri
5/17, so don't wait until the last minute. SENIORS: you must complete
the exam by Fri 5/10 since senior grades are due 5/13.

The exam covers Ch 22, 23, 24, 25, 21, 27, 28, and 29 in Hecht. Be
sure to concentrate on the sub-chapters that we covered in class (see
Course Schedule). The lectures covered are from 3/25 through
5/1. Problem sets covered are from PS #9 to PS #13.
