Review for the final
There will not be a mock final exam. However, in order to give you some extra practice, I'll post some links here to past exams and practice exams that I've written in past semesters.

Practice exams for the five midterms I gave my 220 class in Fall 2007 (yes, five midterms--it was part of the Unit One program in Allen Hall, and things run a bit differently there): First (solutions), second (solutions), third (solutions), fourth (solutions), fifth (solutions).
The actual exams for four of the Fall 2007 midterms and the final: First, second, fourth, fifth, and final.
Practice exam for Midterm 4 for Fall 2006. We were using a different text at the time, and the professor emphasized some things differently, so there are a few questions on this one you might have trouble with, and that's okay. Email me with questions.

In addition, I'd recommend that you go over past worksheets. If you're bored or hungry for still more practice, try visiting the course webpages listed at the left for Fall 2006 and Fall 2007; in addition to the things I've linked to above, there are a number of worksheets and handouts available. Good luck as you study!
