FINAL EXAM:
The final exam is Monday, December 18, 1:30pm-4:15pm. The exam is comprehensive; it includes material from the entire semester. As discussed in class, the final exam will consist of two parts:

• Part 1 consists of multiple-choice questions. You will be given a maximum of one hour to complete the multiple-choice part of the exam. You may not use books or notes for Part 1. I will provide the scantron form required for this part. Use of calculators is not allowed.
• Part 2 consists of problems to be solved. This part is closed-book, but you will be allowed to use three 8.5 x 11 inch sheets of notes (both sides). Use of calculators is not allowed.

1. There is an error in the webpage location published in the ECE 220 information sheet given out on Monday. The correct website is:
   http://ece.gmu.edu/~kwage/courses/ece220/fall06/
   Sorry for any inconvenience.
2. The room change for the recitation on Thursday is as follows: ECE 220-301 (recitation, 4:30-5:20pm) is moved to Thompson 113.
3. For the students who have not had the prerequisite course ECE 201, but Dr. Sutton said you could register for ECE 220: you must send Dr. Sutton and me an email stating that you understand that you are responsible for learning the Matlab tools necessary for ECE 220 on your own. Please note that if you do not acquire the Matlab background for 220 and as a result do not pass ECE 220, you may be required to go back and take ECE 201. If you have any concerns about this, please come talk to me during office hours.
