Instructions for the final exam (IMPORTANT!!)
You should bring the following materials with you to the final exam:

• Course survey: please print and fill out the survey form and bring it with you to the exam, so we can improve the course in the future. You will need to turn this in to receive your exam.
• Project #5: bring a printout on paper of your solution for Project #5, including the controller classes, views, layouts, partials, models, migrations, and CSS files. One of the questions on the exam will require you to extend this application to create new functionality. You will turn in the existing code along with your exam, so please put your name on this code and staple it together. If you wish you may use someone else's solution instead of your own, but you should make sure you are familiar with it before the exam.
• Up to two double-side pages of notes (your choice of material; must be readable with the naked eye, same rules as for the midterm). This is in addition to the material for Project #5 above.

Section slides and code from the AJAX section can be found here.

If you have a conflict with the official time for the final exam (Thursday, Dec. 9, 8:30-11:30 A.M.) please send an e-mail to ouster@cs no later than Friday, November 19, with the following information:

• The nature of your conflict.
• A complete list of any conflicts you have for Wednesday, Dec. 8 that would prevent you from taking the exam in any of the exam slots that day.

If you are having problems with migrations breaking in Project #5 when you added new validations, it is becuase of a bug in the load_data migration. To fix this, replace every occurrence of ".create" in that migration with ".new". Sorry about this error.

From now on, projects will be due at 11:59 P.M. on Thursdays, not 5:00 P.M.
