Announcements
- Your 7.3 homework is returned: Graded 8, 15, and 22b.
  - Karnough went pretty well, but a few of you didn't get down to the minimal sum of products. And that, after all, is our objective.
    Watch for wrapping....
  - Quine-McCluskey didn't go as well. If you drop matches, then you're going to run into trouble.
    Also don't forget the second sort of table. Austin did a nice job....
- Your projects are due this Thursday at midnight. Then you'll still have to review three of your peers' projects (which should take about 30-40 minutes per). Your reviews will be part of your project grade; and the reviews of your project by your peers will also be part of your grade.
  Your review assignments are now up on the project page.
  For Fahad, Colton, and Allie, your review begins today, because Nick G. is going to make a class presentation associated with his project. If any of those three are not present than I'm going swap reviewees for others....
  I'll take your project reviews until Saturday 12/18 (at midnight). That way you can put them off until after your finals are over. Don't forget however! I'll send an email to remind you, so it should be hard to forget entirely....
  If one of your reviewees does not have their projects in by tomorrow, Midnight, then you're off the hook -- you don't need to evaluate them.
- Reminder: there will be a review session here, Sunday night, 7:00-9:00 p.m.
- Best study advice: review your exams, and check out some of my old finals (remembering that over the years I've emphasized different things).
- A reminder that I'll replace your lowest midterm exam score with your final exam score, if it's better. So it would pay to do well on the final.
- I'll take your 8.2 homework with your final, should you wish (I'll use it as a "bonus" homework -- it can replace a worse earlier homework grade). It would be good to do it in any event, since it will be good preparation for the exam....
- The new material (since the previous exam) is sections 5.3, 6.2-4, 7.1-3, and 8.2. Sounds like a lot!
  You'll be allowed an 8.5x11(inches) sheet of paper, both sides. I'm returning your sheets from last time, in case you want to reuse them.
  There will be skip opportunities -- one from the new material, and one from the old.
Okay Nick! Away you go....
Let's see if there are any questions about FSMs.
Then we'll take a look from "On high", and leave some time for questions.
