Dr Corsi distributed a number of papers that were to give more advanced knowledge than that contained in the lectures. His intent is that you focus on the lecture materials and the notes he handed out to back up the oral presentations rather than on the Journal articles.
You may bring one 8.5" x 11" review sheet to the exam with you with anything written on it that you desire.
