Revision classes.

Apparently they are 2-3pm on Tuesday 28th April and Tuesday 5th May (presumably in the Clore) **but please check on Chris Sisson's website for up-to-date informatin**. What should I do in these revision classes? If you want to suggest something, email your year reps (who I think are raphael.lenain13@imperial.ac.uk and yirou.wang13@imperial.ac.uk ). I can go through questions on past papers, I can give revision lectures, it is up to you. I am happy to do anything (within reason).

Thursday 30th April, 4-5pm.
Tuesday 5th May, 3-4pm.
