*Practice Final Exam* See you in class Wednesday 12/12 for the final exam review!
Group handout requirement: All groups are required to email or bring me their class handouts by 8am the day of the presentation. I will make copies for the class. I would prefer for handouts to be <= 4 single-sided pages, and I expect that in many cases 2 to 3 single-sided pages will be perfectly sufficient. One popular option is 3 x 2 printouts of Power Point slides, but whatever you find most effective is great. I look forward to reading your handouts! MB
Notes on taxation and efficiency and on the U.S. personal income tax system have been posted. These were discussed 11/26 in class. Only some of this material was covered, and some was covered quickly. If you missed class, your options are (1) make a friend or (2) study very hard. Hope you all had a great break!
