Johnson Track (http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=W34)

(Although 3 hours are alloted for this exam, it is the same length as the previous in-class exams. Students may anticipate completing the exam in substantially less time than is alloted).  However, you must be on time for the exam. We will start promptly at 9:00am. Depending on how far into the test we are, late students may not be accommodated.

Bring a #2 pencil to fill out the scantron.

The test format will be identical to the previous exams in this class: 50 multiple choice questions (20 from the lecture and Sacks book, 30 from the textbook) and 5 short answer questions, for a total of 70 points.

Exam 3 (the final) is not cumulative. This test will cover only:
- Lectures from 4/24 through 5/17
- Sacks chapters 10 & 11
- and Textbook chapters 9-13
