Midterm

Scores:

You can now view your midterm scores on MyUW. Your midterm exam will be returned back to you after Monday's lecture.

Regrade Policy:

If your exam score was added up incorrectly, take it to one of the TAs and they'll fix it for you.

If you disagree with the grading:

  • Submit your exam to the instructor for a regrade. You must include a cover page with a written explanation of what specifically you think was misgraded and why.
  • We will regrade your entire exam.
  • All midterm regrade requests (other than simple score addition errors) must be submitted by Monday, May 21, 2012.

Time/Place:

  • Date: Friday, May 4, 2012
  • Time: in lecture, 50 minutes
  • Place: in normal lecture room, EEB 105

Practice Exams (with answer keys):

The actual midterm won't necessarily resemble the practice midterms.

Topics:

In general, all of the major topics we covered in lecture are considered "fair game" on the exam.

The following topics are guaranteed NOT to be tested on the midterm in any form:

  • generics
  • recurrence relations
  • shell sort
  • external sorting
