For your memory and sanity, you may use the following: the hint papers for exam 1,
2, 3, 4 that you made. One additional paper, if needed. The heading is, "Final Exam
Memory" . All must be hand written. All papers are on 8.5 inch by 11 inch paper. There
will be a maximum of 5 papers.
If you staple to the front of your final, only the paper titled, Final Exam Memory", you may increase your final exam score by 10%. In no case will
the score be more than 200 points. If there is discussion in class about this, then
the increase will not be given.
It was enjoyable having you in class and I hope that you learned something. Write
your goals on paper and refer to them often.
Take care and hope to see you sometime in the future.
