    4/23 Last class, last quiz! Hand out and discuss: Takehome Final.
    4/26 We will have an external reviewer on campus who is doing a review of the physics program. We want him to talk to some students so it would be really great if you could drop by PS200 (upstairs) at 1:45 to answer some questions from him. Thanks!
    4/30 Take home final is due! Email or under my door (PS101b) is fine (If you email be sure I respond saying I got it!). I will not be on campus but someone will collect the papers and bring them to me.

    Contact Dr. K. Forinash, for comments/suggestions/corrections.
