Midterm
- The midterm exam is upon us. It will be held on Feb 12 in our classroom during our regular class schedule.
Here is my barebone summary of relevant materials.
- To the midterm, you can bring one letter size paper filled with potentially useful formulae and facts (like those contained in my summary sheet).
You should also bring a simple calculator for the midterm (not a graphing calculator; a smart phone is not allowed, and neither is any internet connected device).
- As a practice for the midterm exam, I recommend that you try the following.
Try the last year’s midterm. However, note that in this year’s exams, I do not intend to have any multiple choice questions.
Here are some more problems to try.
There will be a review session next week (one of Mo,Tu,We), but I am not certain what time that will be. It depends on students’ schedules and the room schedule. Here is my summary of the two review sessions.
