Final Exam Note Cards

I will allow you to use one 3 x 5 notecard on the final exam. I will provide the blank notecard to you the day before the final exam and you will have the entire class period to write whatever you want on the card. You will then turn it in to me and I will give it back to you right before the final exam.

I will give you a couple of days to review your notes, the textbook, etc… and decide what you want to put on the notecard. You can put whatever you want on the card, but you will only be able to fill out the card I give you the day before the exam.

If you are absent (excused only) the day before the exam, it is up to you to come in before the exam and fill out a card. Otherwise, you will not be able to use one on the exam.
