Format of the midterm
The midterm exam is a 20-question, multiple-choice Canvas quiz that is based on the lectures and labs from the first half of the course. It is worth 10 points and each question is worth 0.5 points. The exam is open book and open notes, but you must complete it on your own and on a device that can access Canvas.
The goal of the midterm is to assess your ability to find and apply relevant information from the course materials. The questions are designed to be straightforward and you should be able to answer the questions by reviewing the slides and labs. We will have an optional extra credit quiz that has a few questions that are directly from the lecture demonstrations.
Review
We will have a review session for the quiz during class on Tuesday, Oct 15. We will go over the format of the quiz, do a practice quiz, and answer any questions you have about the material.
