+Test 2 will be held in class on Feb. 18, with a take-home part (same format as Test 1).  To help you practice for Test 2, a [[probsets|problem set]] has been posted.
 As a reminder, Test 2 is now optional.  If you write test 2, you will be graded under the original marking scheme; otherwise, your grade will be calculated as follows: Test 1, 33.3%; survey paper, 33.3%; and project, 33.3%.
+If you wish to write Test 2, you must let me know in advance.  If you do not let me know, I will assume that you do not want to write Test 2, and you will therefore be graded under the new marking scheme.
