Students are once again allowed to bring snacks to the classroom (not computer lab), as long as there is no garbage left behind, but not during the exam. 
For questions or extra help, I will be available Wed, Thurs and Fri between 11am and noon either in room 308 or the Languages office, rm 312A.
Exam tips:

• Plan to arrive to the classroom 15 minutes before your exam, with your pen/pencil (bring extras), reference sheet or binder (whatever allowed for that exam). 
• Make sure you have taken care of personal needs (i.e. washroom) before the exam. 
• FIF 2D - bring your Cyrano book to the exam to return it.
• Get a good sleep and have a decent breakfast before the exam.
