Okay, good. Thank you for watching me once more. Okay, so various uh, organizational things now that we are here in the, uh, last class. One thing is make sure you go online, fill out the online evaluations. Uh, the other is various review stuff. The TAs are giving a review tomorrow from Don until three 30. What time are you guys starting?

 

1:30-3:30 in Rm 321. Okay. Read it on the board. Unlike me, um, I will pick up on office hours then from three 30 to six and operators will be standing by overnight.

Let's see, before starting this last lecture, uh, something that absolutely has to be done is to once again emphasize what an amazing bunch of TAs you guys lucked out in having.
