LECTURE MIDTERM


Archer

Your midterm is on Tuesday February 14. It is worth 15% of your course mark. You have the whole class period to complete it even though it is a '50 minute exam'. The format is all multiple choice. The questions will be a mixture of factual recall, problem solving, and diagram questions. It will cover lectures 1 - 11.

Here is my midterm from Fall 2011. Your exam will be similar in length and style.
