As we wrap up this quarter, please keep in mind that you can do extra credit problems embedded in lecture notes, if you like some serious possibility for boosting your exam grades.

You can make up your own, as long as they are high quality problems for you, you have thought about them for a while, you have reached a high degree of clarity regarding the physics issue, and your writeup expresses this clarity.
