Midterm

The midterm will be scheduled on Tuesday, May 3 (week 6). You have one day (24 hours) to complete it. Technically, this exam is designed to take you a few hours to complete! Unlike homeworks, you are not allowed to collaborate or talk to any other students about the details of this exam. We won’t provide any help beyond clarifying questions.

Final

The final will be released on Monday, June 6th at 12pm. You will have three days (72 hours) to complete it, so it must be submitted by Thursday June 9th at 12pm. Similar to the midterm, the final will be a takehome exam with around 60-70 questions. While the exam will be cumulative, the majority of the content we will test on will be from the later half of the course (content after the midterm). Week 5 content will not be tested on.

Resources

Here are some review materials that have been put together by past and current course staff. Like with training a good ML model, you will want to use good training practices to make sure you properly assessing your understanding of the material. We recommend that you save the practice exam until later in your studying so that you can use it as a un-biased estimate of your test accuracy. When taking the practice exam, try to take it like you would the real exam (i.e. time yourself, try to do the whole thing without breaks our looking at your notes).
