Homework:
Review for the exam, but at the same time, get a good night's sleep. There will be no make-up exam for a missed final.

[20100805]
The above topics have been posted since Monday, 20100802, perhaps with a small change. They did not change, however, between the review on Wednesday, 20100804, and the exam on Thursday, 20100805. Sometimes, its not about how hard you study, but knowing what to study. Sometimes, the material is just plain difficult. That's life. You need to pick yourself up and move on.
