Lectures done for the term…

and I am a bit sad that things have come to an end for this fall. Exams are ahead and I will hold extended office hours for student questions. I have posted some more material for both courses I currently teach, including sets of problems to solve and sample final exams. I am a bit skeptical about sample finals – for the moment I continue to provide them, because students ask me. Although they provide the structure of the final (with regard to length and level of difficulty), they also provide a false sense of security, because the material covered in the sample final will not necessarily show up this way in the final (if even!). So doing well in the sample final does not mean that a student will be doing well on the final … anyway – I will monitor the situation closely 😉 before making a final decision!
