Since I had finished the midterm by Tuesday's class, but not yet on Monday's class, here is what I revealed in Tuesday's lecture that I did not know on monday. Everything is subject to change. 1) Currently the midterm consists of 8 questions. 2) In addition there is an extra credit question. This question is VERY difficult (I never give extra credit easily), and should definitely not be attempted until you have finished everything else. 3) The questions are arranged approximately in order of difficulty. Please try not to throw away points by making mistakes on the gimme questions. 4) The last few questions are harder, so don't waste too much time on the easy questions. Still, 2 hours should be more than sufficient to do the midterm. (I expect most people to finish in 1.5 hours.) I would give you longer, but the time limit is actually for your benifit. If I give you more time, all that happens is students tend to obsess. I have actually witnessed students cross out a perfectly correct answer and replace it with the incorrect one! 5) Finally, I would have to say that this midterm is a little harder than ones I have given in the past. Hopefully, you will ace it anyway, at least that is my expectation based on my experience in the classroom. Good luck !!!!!
