Location of Review Session and Final Exam (View Comments)

Reminder that there is a review session tonight, Sunday June 5th, from 6-7 pm. It will be on the third floor of University Hall, in room 347. If that room proves too small, we’ll move downstairs and find an empty classroom.

The final exam is Tuesday, 9:30–11:18 am, in our usual lecture hall, Ramseyer 0065.


Homework (View Comments)

As announced in class, there is no homework due tomorrow. To make up for this, there will be an ungraded homework due next week, for which we will give you feedback as though it were graded.

In the meantime, I would encourage you to continue practicing derivations in SD, and start tackling the exercises in 7.2 (work through the unstarred problems, so you can check your answer against the key), 7.3 (symbolization that does not yet involve quantifiers), 7.4 (easy symbolization with quantifiers) and 7.6 (harder symbolization with quantifiers).

You should also continue practicing derivations in SD. A separate post contains additional exercises.


New Office Hours (View Comments)

As announced in class, I am changing my office hours. I will no longer have an office hour on Thursdays from 2-3. Instead, I will have an office hour on Tuesdays from 6-7 pm.

Several people have emailed me saying that they don’t yet have the book, or, in one memorable instance, that their copy of book was missing pages. As a temporary stop-gap, here is a copy of the first chapter:
