Above is a list of all the subjects included on the midterm exam. There are more terms than this in class; these are only the terms that are tested on the midterm.

As mentioned on the syllabus, you can bring up to 30 pages (size 8.5×11″ or smaller) of numbered unique handwritten notes to this exam. One physical page with two sides counts as one – that is, you can write on the back of each page and have it still count as one page. One double-sided page counts as one physical page.

You will be asked for your student id number on your answer sheet. If you don’t have it memorized, please bring your student ID. Please also bring a pencil. While you can bubble your answers in pen, any need to change your answer in pen may result in an illegible answer for the scanning machine, and will result in no credit. Pencil users should be sure to press firmly when they mark their answers. Blue or black ink pen is ok, but remember that you can’t write on the exam and you may want to change answers on your answer sheet. I will provide scratch paper as well.

Please number the pages of your handwritten notes in the top right-hand corner. Make sure your first and last name are on the first page.

Please limit the number of pages that you bring to class to 30. It is strongly encouraged, though not required, to minimize the time it takes for me to approve your notes by removing them from extraneous material, spirals, binders, etc.

Day-of midterm instructions here.

Talking is prohibited during the exam. Questions for the instructor are allowed and encouraged.

Students who arrive on time to the midterm may use the majority class period to complete it; some time will be needed for the professor to collect the exam materials before class ends. Students who arrive more than 5 minutes late to the exam may only take it at the professor’s discretion. Students who arrive more than 20 minutes late to the exam may not take it. If granted test taking time, late arrivers will only have as much time for the exam as the on-time students take – when the last on-time student leaves, the exam period ends and all students must turn in their tests.

You should keep your notes after the exam. Only turn in your test, answer sheet, and scratch paper.
