I will give another exam#2 on Wednesday 16 March 200-250pm covering chapters 6, 7, 8, and homework. Anyone is allowed to take it (including those
with Version A). You will get the higher of the two  grades, so that you have the choice not to take it if you did well the first time and you can redeem yourself if you didn’t do well the first time, regardless of the reasons.

There will also be the make-up exam on Friday 18 March 200-250pm covering chapters 1-9 and homework. Anyone is also allowed to take this one as well if Wednesday does not work out for you.
