Information and Guidelines for the Mid-Term
Examination
- Coverage: All the material covered in
the textbook in chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 (see Handouts [1], [2],
[3], and [4] at the course's website), plus all the material
covered in the lectures, Homework Assignment 1, and any additional
assigned articles (that I will have sent you via e-mail, or
posted at the Q&A Forum on Nexus).
- Question types: There will be three
types of questions:
1. Questions based on end-of-chapter problems.
2. Questions based on the text, including side-bars/case studies.
3. Questions based on discussions in class, including, but not
limited to, discussions relating to Assignment 1, and the assigned
articles.
- Date, time, and place:
The midterm
will be on Thursday, May 2. It will start at 1:55 and end at
3:40 PM. It will take place in our regular classroom.
- What to bring: Make sure to bring a
calculator, a ruler, and a writing implement. Paper (including
graph paper) will be provided. There is NO pencil
sharpener in the room. The use of a cell phone as a calculator,
or for any other purpose, will NOT be allowed.
- Please note that that this is a CLOSED-BOOK
exam. Also, there will be NO EXTENSION of the time
period. Time management is part of the educational
process. All exams will be collected by 3:40. You may
leave earlier if you finish earlier.
- From the Syllabus:
- How to study for this course. It is absolutely essential that you
keep up with the course work as we go along. Study in a gradual and steady
manner from day one, and utilize office hours (if you need them) in the same
fashion. Last-minute
cramming will not work. With this in mind, please note that there will be
no
review sessions prior to the midterm or the final exams.
- The exams will include questions that will not have
been covered in class, but which are covered in assigned readings.
