Semester Exams are looming! Semester Exams will be June 2-4. I will take any questions over the semester exam reviews on the blog, here on this post, in tutorials, and we will have a review day on Tuesday, June 1st. However, it is strongly advised that you not wait to review or ask questions that until that day. You should begin reviewing your material NOW.

The Semester Exam review will not be collected, is not for a grade, and will not be any extra points on the exam. The review is provided to guide you in reminding you what to study. All semester I have been strongly encouraging my students to keep their tests, quizzes, notes, and projects. These items are what they will use to study for the semester exam. Below I will include some things to help students prepare, but much of what they need they already have.
