Today is the MP9 checkoff.

Please follow the in-lecture testing before class starts steps from the MP9 page. We have powered on all VMs, so you shouldn’t need to do step 1.a today and can skip ahead to step 1.b.

Exam 3 will occur next week.

Remember to reserve your exam slot at https://us.prairietest.com/.

The exam will have similar structure to Exam 1. It will focus on material covered in the MPs and HWs since Exam 2: HW7, HW8, MP7, MP8, MP9. As with Exams 1 and 2, clicker questions from lecture are also worth reviewing.
