These are practice problems for the final exam. They have zero point value, so that whatever you do on them will NOT count on your homework score. They cover backward over the entire semester, and will help as practice. They have 4 chances for you to input answers; after that time, of course, WebAssign will tell you the answers, so that you can know.

FINAL EXAM will be on Wednesday, 8 May, at 10 AM

Review sessions for the Final will occur on Thursday night, 2 May, at 7 pm, on Friday morning, 3 May, at 8 am, on Sunday afternoon, 5 May, at 1 pm, and on Monday night, at 7 pm.
All of these will occur in Room 114 of the usual building, where class is held. There will be considerable overlap between the material discussed.

It will cover the entire portion of the text that we have studied, but will be divided as follows:

• approximately "two thirds" on Chapters 1 through 12, with slightly more emphasis than expected on conservation of energy,
• and the other "one third" on Chapters 14, and those parts of Chapters 15, 16, and 17 that we discuss in class.
