The mid-term exam will be over these papers.
Copies will not be provided for you.
You MUST
bring a clean, printed copy of each of these to class on the day of the midterm.
(A clean copy is one that does not have writing on it.)
You should read these in advance.
The exam will use a subset of these papers.
(Update: use papers 2, 3, and 4.)
Bring blank paper, pens, pencils, a stapler, and a watch to the exam.
We decided to do a take-home exam. For each of the papers, answer the following questions:
When answering the questions, make sure to show all of your work. State your assumptions, and explain your answers thoroughly. Remember that an explanation is expected with every answer. Use direct quotes as appropriate to support your answers. Cite the source. A good answer will include some technical depth. A good answer will include critical comments, and your own analysis.
