Hello everyone and welcome to the most wonderful (and stressful time of the year). That's right, I'm talking about the last full week of class. I know that many of you will be taking tests and cramming for finals. So, I thought what better way to end the semester than with a bunch of questions, after all, my questions are usually fun, reflective, and you won't be graded on them. I'm not going to explain them, just ask them. So, without further ado...
