The format of the final is as follows:

• First you will do a written final of the same format as the two midterms (30 six-point multiple choice questions plus nine 15-20 point short answer questions). This part of the exam is closed book, closed note and is worth 350 points (half of the 700 points for the final).
• Once you have turned in the written portion of the final you will be given a set of three or four exercises similar to Labs 1-11 (you will not be expected to do anything with a web page). This portion of the final is open book and open note and is worth 350 points (the other half of the 700 points total for the final). Note, you MUST (hint hint) bring your lab book.

NOTE: the final will be held on Monday, May 12th from 6:00-7:55 PM (for both parts of the final) in MWAH 177.

Questions for the written portion of the final will be drawn from the 12 chapters of the book covered in class plus the history section covered in class. The format of these questions will be the same as on the previous exams.
