Each project required a lot of time, prepare to spend 12+ hour for each project. Project 4 was a killer (and also the fact that it is due in the same week as the final), I would venture to guess that most of the class didn't complete the project. So start early and complete as much as possible for project 4.
I would recommend looking over the slide for review since most of what he said is in the slide. The slide is detailed enough that you probably don't need to read the book. I would recommend review those for your exam. Also, you can only bring 1 two-sided cheat sheet to the exam.
You should really,really really go to his office hour as much as possible as he is extremely helpful during office hour and he is willing to go over any question you have and also giving you some hint if you happen to get stuck in your project/homework. I can't stress enough how going to his office hour is going to be helpful for you.
You should also go to the discussion section because sometime when he doesn't finished the required material, he will defer those to the discussion TAs (though he will still talk briefly about it in the next lecture).
