The final exam will be held during finals week. You will be expected to use your knowledge and skills accumulated during the entire course. Based on percentage of the total points for the course. My goal is for each and every student to master the concepts in this course, and obtain a good grade. These will impact your life only in as much as you are a student in my class.
Science is simply the logical process of figuring out how the world works.
Being a scientist means having an intense curiosity about the world around you, and wanting to learn the basic strategies of how to figure out things about it.

In order to understand major concepts, one must master the details.
