On Dec 4th or so, I will provide you all with the take-home FINAL EXAM, which is due on our Finals Day which is Dec 11. The final is similar to Quiz 2, with 11 short answer questions.

Our lecture topic on Dec 4th will be: Getting Started in the Industry including how to creatively embellish on a resume. Officially, attendance on the 4th is optional, and we will not take roll. But this is stuff that you will never see printed in a textbook.

As per our syllabus, there are two remaining short projects. Both of these are due on Dec 4th. If you want, you may combine them into one paper or one submission; or turn them in separately. Either way, each written project is worth 10 points.
