Change of office hours and review session

I cannot hold office hours on Tuesday this week. Instead, I will have office hours on Thursday (12/4) from 12:00-2:00p in 103 Marshall College. I will also hold extra office hours during exam week.

Remember, Thursday will be an in-class review for the final exam.
