It will be a little bit before the marks are back. In the mean time, if you would be
willing to fill out a little survey for my information about what you thought about
the course and about my teaching, I would appreciate it! You can fill it out
by clicking here.
Final Exam location, time, and date
December 13, 2012
If you are not already aware, the final exam is tomorrow (Friday December 14th). The
info on location, time, and date (as discussed in class) can all be found on the UofM
main website at http://www.umanitoba.ca, and then click on "Current Student", and
"Exam Information". Good luck! -Rob
Final Exam Content
December 7, 2012
As announced in class, the final exam will not cover section 5.4 on Loans and Mortgages.
That is, the final exam can potentially include questions from every section in the
textbook except for 5.4. -Rob
Exam period office hours
December 7, 2012
I will be having office hours during the final exam period on Tuesday December 11th
from 1:00pm - 4:00pm. My office in 425 Machray Hall. This time will be first come,
first serve, so come early, and if there is a line up, please do wait. This will
be the last chance you will have to see me before the final, as I will not be
available (except by email) on Wed or Thu. If this time does not work for you, make
sure to make an appointment to see me - there are very few appointment times left
on Monday. Good luck to you! -Rob
