Good luck!

Hope your studying is going well!  The six final exams from past years that we have provided to you in the Study Guide should enable you to identify what areas you need to review most closely.  Also, please take advantage of the "Last Minute Help Center" and telephone "TA Hotline" available Monday night from 7:30 to 11:30 PM.   See the first page of the Final Exam Information and Study Guide handout (available on the Exams page of the 5.12 website) for details.

Reminder:  please don't forget to complete a subject evaluation via the website  http://web.mit.edu/subjectevaluation.  The deadline to submit is Monday 9 AM.  As you know, the faculty and TAs cannot see any evaluation results until after the final class grades are turned in to the Registrar.  However, we can view a figure for the percent of the class that has completed evaluations and most of the class has not provided evaluations yet.  We read all comments carefully and are eager to get your feedback and suggestions how to improve the class for next year.  Thanks!
