(3) MIDTERM 1: Midterm 1 will take place in class February 27th. The following are practice midterm exams.
My Midterm 1 from 2004 This exam should be reasonably good practice for our actual in-class exam.
Igal Hendel's 2001 1st midterm This exam should be reasonably similar to the exam you will take in class, though a small amount of material covered in this example exam was not covered in our class.
(2) ATTENDANCE POLICY & EXAM QUESTIONS IN LECTURE:
Attendance of both the lectures & discussion sections is ungraded. However,
each lecture will be accompanied by a midterm or final exam practice question.
Questions will closely resemble exam questions, but will differ in their specific
applications or numerical solutions.
