You still have 25% of your grade left to be determined. I would focus your energies on doing well on the last exam. Remember, these are open book and open note exams. You should answer each question as comprehensively as possible. Looking at your last exam it seems that you simply left out critical information in your answer. The information has been given to you. You simply need to use it in your answers.} Im not trying to fail.. sorry for the long post…
