Review Materials for Final Exam
厚积薄发
I feel everyone is very nervous about the final exam for the cour. Many students have said that they are not sure what to study for the test. You should note that anything NOT discusd in class WILL NOT be on the exam. Also, all of the questions for the exam were taken directly from the PPT (in-class prentations). With that in mind, I believe it would be beneficial to review the PPTs before the exam.
