And that's it!! The end always seems to sneak up. Anyway, thanks for taking the course and the best of luck in your exam preparations. Remember TC 404 is booked from 1130 to 1330 on the 15th and 16th if you want to do some final networking among yourselves. Remember not to get anxious. You already know more than you think. And I'm looking for reasons to give you marks in grading your exams ... so even if you're running out of time include what you can in your answers before walking away. Peace.
