12 Oct:  Students  with OSD approval for extra time should arrange to take the exams at the TTC. `

9 Oct: 14:30:  In-class Midterm1 will be on Friday, Oct 16. The Midterm will  be MC format and based on all the learning from Weeks 1&2. Questions will test your reading of assigned textbook chapters, the lecture slides and HW.  

Exam questions will not be a copy of the HW. Best way to prepare for the test is to rigourously follow the weekly assignments. If you can solve all HW questions, exercises and riddles by yourself, the midterm will be easy and there will be no surprises.  Several opportunities for  help with your HW are provided throughout  the week. Be sure to use them if you need them. 

Here is what the first page of the exam will say: You may use a scientific or graphing calculator and consult your cheat sheet of size 5x8 inch with duplex printing. All rough calculations must be done on sheets of paper that you should have brought with you. Phones including burner phones, tablets or laptops must be stowed away & academic integrity rules followed. No bathroom breaks are allowed for this exam. The last sheet of this exam has a scantron-like answer sheet. Remove this page from rest of the exam sheets and darken the bubble that has your answer with a pen. At the end of exam, pl. submit the stapled exam sheets and the Answer sheet in SEPARATE piles as marked on the collection table. 

Sample answer sheet is here. 

There will be no makeup Midterm for any reason. If you cannot attend this exam, consider dropping this course.
