12/13/02: The review session for the final will be 12/16 from 6-8 p.m., Chem. 1407. I will have office hours on Tuesday afternoon from 2-4 p.m. Coverage of the last portion of the course on the final will be right out of the notes, although I do recommend reading chapters 17, 19, and 21 of VVP.
12/6/02: The third exam covers through and including the introduction to oxphos, not the details of electron tranport or the rotary engine. Here is a set of practice study questions. The review session will be Monday, 12/9, at 6 p.m., in Chemistry 1407. The final exam review session will be the 16th, 6 p.m., 1407. Anyone who missed an hour exam who wants to take a makeup instead of scaling the scores from the other exams needs to see me by the 11th. All students who get extra time for exams should arrange with DSS to take the final exam there.
