The first midterm exam will be given on Thursday, October 7 at 2:20-3:35 PM (i.e. during the regular class time). This is the same time for both Tuesday and Thursday groups.
There will be a class meeting on Tuesday, October 5 for both Tuesday and Thursday groups. During this meeting I will review the exam material and answer any related questions.
The scope of the exam will correspond to chapters 2-8 of the lecture notes. You can print these chapters and use them during the exam. No other resources (books, computers etc.) are permitted.
The exam will consist of 5 problems, but for full credit you will need to solve any 4 of them. Each problem will be worth 20 points.
Exam problems will be similar to homework exercises, only shorter since the exam time is limited. Reviewing the homework assignments 1-4 and additional exercises from the course lecture notes is a good way to prepare for the exam.
This week I will have office hours on Wednesday, October 6 at 5:00-7:00 PM on Discord, so I can help with any pre-exam questions. There will not be office hours on Friday.
There is no reading assignment this week because of the upcoming midterm exam.
Due dates.
| Tuesday group: | Tuesday 10/5, 10:00 AM |
| Thursday group: | Thursday 10/5, 10:00 AM |
You are still required to complete Weekly Digest 5 on Gradescope. Students in both Tuesday and Thursday groups need to complete the digest by 10:00 AM on Tuesday 10/5. In particular, please submit questions that you would like to see answered during the exam review on Tuesday 10/5.
There is no new homework this week.
