Online Course Evaluations...
As of my last check, 65% of the class had responded to the online course evaluations. Since 65% > 60%, you have achieved your goal! Good work. You should thus expect that the exam will include:1) One problem from PSet 11 (the ungraded PSet on Kinetics)
and
2) One clicker question from Lecture 36 (Reaction Mechanisms)
Good luck with your studying!
