*** FINAL EXAM WILL NOT BE IN PSYCH 1924 ***
- Final exam will take place in Broida Hall (BRDA 1640), 8am - 10am on Wednesday 3/20

Format of the exam
- Similar to midterms, but designed to take two hours (~twice as long)

	- Short answer
	- Briefly describe / define /state…
	- Write code
	- Fill in the blank / complete the table (or diagram)
