CPSC 217: Midterm Information

Date/location:

• The exam will be written outside of class time: [Exam date/time]

Review material:

• TopHat questions can give an idea of what some of the multiple choices may look like.
• During lecture as I cover the material I will provide suggestions of what an exam-like question may look like. You should attend class for this info and note the details as it comes up.
• Extra-extra review questions: the following are meant to provide you with some extra practice so you need to actually try them on your own to get anything out of it. For that reason solutions won't be posted. But if you still have questions after attempting a question then you can ask. [Extra-extra review]

Front cover from the actual exam (so make sure you look at this beforehand...important!):

Material that you should study

• The lecture material: the PowerPoint slides will provide you with an outline of the topics to be covered. However studying the information just listed on the slides won't be sufficient to do well on the final exam. You will also need to take notes in class and to study and understand those notes. If you have any questions then make sure that you ask me for help and clarification.
• The text book: they should be used as another source of material to help you understand the material as you prepare for the exam. I won't however directly examine you on material that is listed in the textbooks that I didn't cover in class.
• Lab exercises and the lab handouts: I won't be directly examining you on this material (unless it overlaps with the lecture material).
