Evaluations, Review Class, Exam Structure

Dear All,

1. The TAs have worked very hard this semester. It would be great for them if you could fill the evaluations in order to give them feedback. Also overall feedback about the course will be useful and much appreciated.

2. After discussions with a few students, this is what I am planning to do:
(a) Tuesday class is review.
(b) Instead of having another ad-hoc review class, I will be available to meet you on Monday Dec 19th, from 1:00pm - 5:00pm in my office.

3. The final exam is structured as follows:
(a) 30 points for formulations.
(b) 30 points for material until Midterm 1.
(c) 40 points for material after Midterm 1.
