As long as I score at least 66.4%, I’ll have an A for the course.
Professor Sekhon said that he considered giving an open-book test, but chose not to do so. Instead, he will let us refer to the sample final he gave out on Monday for our practice, and will let us write our own “cheat sheet” on one letter-size sheet of paper for use on the final. He handed out blank paper and gave us time in class today to write one. I spent the time copying nearly every important theorem and definition in the book onto the sheet in fairly small handwriting, using both sides of the sheet.
I joked that sheets of paper should be made larger. The Professor was surprised to see my sheet, and said that I was the one person in class that didn’t need any. But I feel more comfortable having the information available in case I have trouble remembering any of the material under the pressure of the final exam. It has happened to me before…
Anyhow, I expect that I’ll get a score of at least 90%.
