Old Midterm Exams
Every offering of the course is different and covers a different set of topics given the limited time available. The exams below do not necesarily imply anything about the nature of our midterm, but they are drawn from course offerings with a very similar schedule. Do note that since out class meets for 90 minutes, your exam will be longer.
Furthermore, while the exam will have some drill problems related to how data structures work, there will also be problems that favor higher-level concepts and applying your knowledge of data structures.
