Final exam format

Hello,

A note about the format of Wednesday's final:
As in the previous 2 exams, the final will consist of *50 multiple-choice questions*; unlike the other exams, however, there will NOT be a short answer section.
You can have all 3 hours (from 1:30-4:30pm) to take the exam, however you must arrive at the *beginning* of the test time.
The final exam will be worth the same amount as the previous 2 tests (i.e. 20% of the overall grade).

Good luck this week :)

Hello,

The review session for the 9.00 final exam will be held tomorrow, Tuesday at 7pm in room 46-3002 (the usual review spot).

The final exam will be held on Wednesday at 1:30pm in room 10-250 (the usual class spot).

Please note that the final exam will cover: Kosslyn textbook chapters 12-16, Sacks book chapters 10-11, and the lectures since the last exam.

Regarding the child cognitive development lecture, the following website- shown in class by our guest lecturer, Laura Schulz- is pretty helpful in explaining some of the relevant experimental paradigms:
