Dear All,
Below is the list that I was able to compile from the posting on the discussion forum. I have noted the missing items in capital letters, and be sure that you understand that these items are possible for the exam-center part of the final.
I'll also post this same note on the web forum.
See you this afternoon at 4 in Hooker. To make the most out of the review session, you should at least read very carefully the two part instructions for the final; then note down any questions that you might have.
