Exam
information
For dates of exams,
please see the schedule.
This class includes
two exams, an in-class midterm and a take-home final exam.
Midterm exam
The midterm is an in-class exam. It is open
book and open notes. You may bring electronic devices providing you can
convincingly demonstrate that they are unable to access anything other than
themselves. That is, you may not access the internet, any telephone
networks, or anything like that. Whatever you bring to the exam must be
entirely contained within the room.
The midterm exam will cover all
material up to and including the class before the exam. You are
responsible for the material covered in class as well as any obvious
out-of-class reading you should have done.
Here are some sample midterm
exams from past years. Please note that in different years the course
material is covered in different orders and at different speeds. That
means that past exams may include questions for topics that you are not
responsible for. They may also omit topics that you
are responsible for. Nonetheless, the past exams give you a
sense of the types of questions that will be asked.
Final exam
Comprehensive and take
home.
