Review for Test #3 and Final Exams

4/30: You took the first half of the final.  The second half of the final is supposedly 8-10 AM on Monday.  I will allow you to start at 7:00 AM.  However, I will not be available until 9:00.  You can ask me questions from 9:00 to 11:00.  I will set the due time as noon.  However, I recommend starting earlier rather than later in case you want to ask me questions.  If you need another time because of work or another problem, contact me and let me know.

4/28: I handed back the exam and a printout of your grades.  We went over both.  The review session for the first half of the final is tomorrow at 1:00.  The first half of the final is Thursday during the normal class period.  It will cover everything from the semester except for what will be covered during the second half of the final.  Therefore, it will be mostly material from the first exam.  Some guaranteed topics will be opportunity costs, supply/demand for a good, and Social Security.
4/23: You took the exam.
4/21: I handed back the homework.  We went over it, the questions on the review sheet and I finished reviewing for the second half of the final.  The review session is Wednesday at 1:00 via Zoom.  The exam is Thursday.  The PowerPoint file for the second half of the final, without any of my comments can be found here, but I recommend watching the video.
4/16: We finished Chapter 16 and started reviewing for the second half of the final.  You handed in Homework #10.  I handed out the review sheet for the exam next Thursday.  I asked when people wanted a review session and got no answer.  So, I chose Wednesday at 1:00 via Zoom.
4/14: I handed back Homework #9 and went over it.  We then finished Chapter 15 and started Chapter 16.  Remember, Homework #10 is due next class. The recording of the class is having problems.  So, I downloaded it and put it up here.

3/24: I ran another review session during the class time.  The exam will be given during the class time on Thursday.  You will get it from Canvas, hand write the answers.  Photograph them.  Turn them into PDF documents.  If you do not know how to do that, you can go to pdfcandy.com.  I will be available via Zoom during that time if you have questions.  However, Zoom will end a session if there is 40 minutes of no activity, so there may be a short time where it logs me out and I have to restart the meeting.
3/23: I ran the review session at 1:00.  The exam will be at the normal class time on Thursday.  It will be given via Canvas.  My new office hours are posted on my webpage.  They are Monday through Friday 12:00 - 1:00 on Zoom (I have yet to figure out how to have it available to all of my classes.) and every evening from 9:00 to 10:00 via e-mail.  This latter is where I will be online and answering via e-mail, but I will not be on the computer which I can Zoom from.  I will have another review session at the normal class time tomorrow.
