Dear students,
please take note of the following:

Tomorrow (Friday) I will be in the seminar room in the Business School from 9.30 onwards (until about 10.30) to talk to any student who wants information/advice regarding the exam (mid-term/final)
Download, from the Portal, the final exam from 2007 and start revising for the exam.
If you are struggling with the course make an appointment to see me next week.
Our final (next) lecture will be on the 8th of May (Friday from 9-11). I will be giving the lecture to help you prepare for the final exam.
