Midterm Details

Midterm Policies

The midterm will be administered as a Gradescope quiz that will consist of short-answer questions. Date is TBD.

You are to write up and work on the midterm on your own. We want the work you submit to be a representation of your own thoughts. However, we acknowledge that your peers are often one of the best resources for understanding concepts; therefore, we are allowing the "Gilligan's Island Rule."


Midterm Structure

On Gradescope, you will find reflection questions for each of the exercises and homework assignments that have been due up to this point (exercises until this point and hw1, hw2). As these are reflection questions, the reasoning and explanation matter more than the statement of a fact or opinion. Where possible, please try to be brief/concise while still getting your point across.

Final Structure

The final will be composed of reflection questions on the assignments not covered on the midterm and overall course reflections.

Assignment Reflection Questions

On Gradescope, you will find reflection questions for each of the exercises and homework assignments not covered on the midterm. As these are reflection questions, the reasoning and explanation matter more than the statement of a fact or opinion. Where possible, please try to be brief/concise while still getting your point across.

Course Reflection Questions

Also on Gradescope, you will find a few reflection questions on the goals and learning objectives of the course as a whole. The same rules and suggestions apply to these reflection questions.
