7.03  Genetics

Final Review Session Notes + Final Exam Reminder

Hi Everyone,

The TA notes from the final review session have been posted to Stellar.

As a final reminder, the final exam for 7.03 is Tuesday December 19 from 9am-12pm in duPont gym. The final is cumulative, and you need to bring a calculator that can (at least) do exponents and logarithms. You may bring three pieces of paper 8.5 x 11 inches with notes on both sides with you to the exam. If you will need to borrow a calculator for the exam but haven't emailed me yet, please do so asap by replying to this email.

Extra resources

1. I have posted some practice problems related to subjects near the end of the course, and answers for these problems. These are posted in “Extra Handouts”.

2. In the archive link on the course website there are two final exams (’06, ’07) but not answer keys for these. I was able to track down some unofficial answer keys to these exams from past TAs and have posted them - also in “Extra Handouts”. Please note that the *unofficial nature* of these answer keys.

Final Exam Info and Review Session

Hi everyone,

As a reminder, the final exam for 7.03 will be Tuesday, December 19 from 9am-12pm in duPont Gym. The final is cumulative, so it will include all material from exams 1-3 and the material from the most recent lectures. You are allowed to have three 8.5x11 inch pieces of paper with notes on front and back with you in the exam. You will also need to bring a calculator for the exam that is appropriate for the course (meaning it needs to be able to do exponents+logarithms).

If you do not have a calculator and you will not be able to find or borrow one before Tuesday, please let me know asap by replying to this email. We will not bring many spare calculators to the exam, so if you do not let us know in advance we cannot guarantee that we will have a calculator for you to borrow.

The TAs will also be holding one last optional review session this weekend. The review will be Sunday December 17 from 12pm-1pm in the normal genetics lecture room, and we will stick around to answer questions from 1pm-2pm. As before, we will post the TA notes from the review session on Stellar shortly thereafter.

Best of luck studying for your finals!

Moving my office hours tomorrow (12/14) to 4:30-6

Hey everyone,
I have another schedule conflict this week with office hours (this time of the long-ago-in-a-galaxy-far-far-away variety). As such I am going to bump my office hours tomorrow up to 4:30. To compensate for having to move them, I am also going to extend them a bit. They will still be in ~the same place (i.e. in the Stata, somewhere near the cafe).
Best,
Josh
