NOTE: After some discussion about what to do about those who failed the midterm, the following decision was taken:
The final exam will consist of two parts. One portion will cover all the material NOT COVERED on the midterm. This will be a two hour exam. In addition there will be ANOTHER portion of one and a half hour, which will be a THIRD chance at the midterm. This portion need not be taken by those who passed, or those who are satisfied with their midterm score here. OTHERS can voluntarily take the second part of the final. The score on the second part will be substituted for the midterm score - It can be risk free venture, in the sense that I will take the maximum of the two percentage scores as the midterm grade. This second portion of the final will be similar to the current midterm.
