   * There will not be any review session for the final exam. But, here are <<la(E02-Review.pdf, "some review materials")>>.

   * On Friday, Dec 12, I will have open office hours from 9 AM through 2 PM. Also, you can use the online forum to discuss any challenging issues.

   * Two crib sheets of US letter size paper filled on both sides are allowed for the final exam.

 * '''Midterm''': The midterm on Nov 4 will cover materials up to Lecture note 9. However, materials in lecture notes 8 and 9 will be treated ''very lightly.''

   * <<la(E01.pdf, "The exam")>> and <<la(E01-Sols.pdf, "the solutions")>>. [[Grading Rubric Midterm|The score distribution and the full grading rubrics are available here]].

   * The review session is 3-5 PM on Nov 2, Sunday, in room PSB 114.

      * <<ln("https://copy.com/wJGlUZScawvAVN6K", "The audio recording")>> and <<la("Midterm-Review--Photos.pdf", "the photos of the blackboard")>> are available for those of you who could not make it to the session.

   * <<ln("https://gweon.com/ph105-11/Homework+?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=E01.pdf", "Last year's midterm")>> should be reviewed. It should be regarded as a practice exam for this year. (However, you can ignore problem 2.) ~-(<<la(Last-year-midterm-w-sols.pdf, "solutions included")>>)-~

   * <<ln("https://gweon.com/ph105-11/Homework+?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=E01-Practice.pdf", "Last year's pre-exam")>> can be reviewed as well. ~-(<<la(Last-year-practice-sols.pdf, "solutions")>>)-~

   * There will not be any quiz on this Thursday (Oct 30), nor will there be any new homework given out on that day. A new homework will be posted on Nov 4 and will be due Nov 13.
