What will the midterm look like?
Content
- The material covered by Midterm 1 includes material from Chapters 1-5 of LK notes and the corresponding chapters of PD notes. See the Course calendar for detailed readings (up to Sept 30).
- The best way to study is to do lots of problems. Questions similar to both the WeBWorK assignments and the OSH will appear on the midterm. For example, last year, the Midterm 1 questions were most similar to the following WeBWorK and OSH problems:
- WeBWorK 2: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18.
- WeBWorK 3: 20, 21, 23.
- WeBWorK 4: 6, 19, 21, 22, 23.
- OSH 2 (Problem #2).
- OSH 3 (both problems).
- Keep in mind that not all topics are covered on any single midterm so a WeBWorK or OSH problem not on this list may very well appear this year even if it didn't appear last year.
Format
The midterm will consist of a number of multiple choice questions, some short answer problems (show work, enter answer in a box) and three longer questions more like OSH. Here is a skeleton midterm with no content, just format. The actual midterm might differ in the details but will look roughly like this.
