Announcements

Except if you hear otherwise (we're still waiting to hear from the Dean), your projects are due on Dean's date, January 12th, before Midnight, in my (Benoît's) mailbox in Green Hall (my last name is Monin). Papers are individual, so although you collected the data together, I'm expecting one from each of you.
As Professor Darley said in lecture, there will be a review session sometime between Dean's date and the exam. We will email you the time and place.
We've updated the lecture overheads. Check them out.
Have a great holiday. We'll see you in January.
