Exams

As stated on the syllabus, midterm exams will be…

closed-book pen-and-paper exams with one sheet of handwritten notes permitted

Explanation:

• “Closed book” means that you may not consult any printed, written, electronic, or other materials. Exception: you may bring into the exam one page of handwritten notes (one side of US letter sized paper only).
• You may not use electronic devices during the exam. Answers must be written on paper using pen or pencil.

The duration of each exam is 75 minutes, and there will be questions worth approximately 75 points on the exam. So you should budget your time at the rate of about one point per minute. Try to allocate your time wisely: spend only about 10 minutes on a 10-point question, about 5 minutes on a 5-point question, and so on.

The third midterm exam is optional. The total exam grade will be computed from the best two of the three midterm exams.

Midterm Exam 1

Exam 1 covers material from Topics 1-3.

Midterm Exam 2

Exam 2 covers material from Topics 4-6.

Midterm Exam 3

Exam 3 covers material from Topics 1-6. For this exam, you are permitted two sides of handwritten notes on US letter sized paper.
