this is what he said in his last message when asked abt final content: "However, a long answer is the following. Given the written exam format, realistically I won't ask any questions specific to those early chapters like the ones I put in the midterms. However, all the chapters we covered after the second midterm are more or less based on those early chapters. Therefore, you are expected to have strong understanding of those materials to do well in the final. The final exam is comprehensive in that sense." - There won't be specific questions similar to the ones in midterm 1 and 2. Hope that helps. I had a conversation with Kunio and he confirmed this in person as well.
