(*)  Finals' Week Office Hours / Review Session:

  • Richard - Tuesday, 11:00 am - 1:00 pm, BE 350.
  • Sara - Tuesday, 6:00 - 8:00 pm, Physical Sciences, 110. (Review session)
  • Catherine - Wednesday, 10 am - 12 pm, BE 312 C/D
  • Yonatan - Wednesday, 12:00 - 1:30 pm

12/9 - To calculate your quiz score for the quarter:

  • Add all your quiz scores and multiply by 0.75.  (Your quiz 10 score will be posted tomorrow)
  • Your quiz score is the number you calculated or 20, whichever is lower. 

12/3 - Review problems for the final exam are here. Solutions are here. The discussion sections this week will all be mini-review sessions for the final exam. You should go with questions (about the final review problems, for example, or anything else). 

11/29 - Solutions to the Blue version of Midterm 2 are here. The solutions to the White version are similar. 

11/29 - The solutions to study guide 7 have been updated: the solution to problem 4 now matches the problem.

11/28 - The midterm 2 papers have been split into for groups, based on first letter of last name:

  • Sara has A - G
  • Catherine has H - M
  • Yonatan has N - S
  • Richard has T - Z

To collect your exam, go to the instructor that has it during their office hours. Or contact them and make arrangements to pick it up during their section. 

11/27 - It seems that there is some misunderstanding about how I am calculating the overall midterm score. What I am doing is adding half of your lower midterm score to 1.5 times you higher midterm score. This gives a number between 0 and 40 which is your overall midterm score in the class. For example, if you scored 16 points on one midterm and 12 points on the other one, then your overall midterm score is (0.5)*12+(1.5)*16= 30. 

The midterm scores themselves are not being changed.  

11/27 - After-lecture notes  for yesterday's lecture (about utility maximization) are posted below.

11/26 - For the solution to today's Quiz 7, see Study Guide 6, problem 1(b). 

11/26 - As I mentioned in class today, between now and Friday, 12/7 (the last day of classes), there will be at least 2 - 3 additional quizzes. If you have alread missed a couple (or more) quizzes, this is your chance to make up some lost ground. (To say nothing of the fact that the material we will be discussing in the next 5 lectures will make up a significant part of the final exam.)

11/21 - Slides from Monday's lecture are posted below. Today's lecture followed examples 4 and 5 from Supplementary Notes 5 (below) very closely. You should read these examples (and all of SN 5, for that matter) before class next Monday. Happy Thanksgiving!

10/30 - Solutions to midterm 1 are here: White | Blue
