Midterm 1 Preparation

Midterm 1 will be held on Tuesday October 9th, 7:30-9:30pm. The room location will be determined be the last digit of your SID:

0, 1, 2: VLSB 2050
3, 4: Evans 10
5: Hearst Annex A1
6: Dwinelle 145
7: GPB 100
8: Latimer 120
9: VLSB 2040

Midterm 1 will cover material from lectures 1-11, HW1-5, Section 1-6, P1-3. Note that exam questions will in many cases ask you to extend or combine basic ideas and algorithms from class. Make sure you understand the fundamentals in addition to being able to procedurally execute algorithms. The exam will not test your knowledge of Python, however questions may assume familiarity with the projects (see past exams for examples).

The midterm will be closed notes, books, laptops, and people. However, you may use a one-page (two-sided) cheat sheet of your own design (group design ok but not recommended).

You may also use a basic, non-programmable calculator, which is not required, but which may be helpful and is recommended. (No TI-86's, iPhones, etc.)

Practice Midterm 1 is available here. This is meant for you to simulate exam environment and help assess where you are at. It is optional. You are able to earn 1pt of extra credit on Midterm 1 by appropriately completing it by its deadline: 11:59pm on Saturday October 6th

In addition to regular office hours, we will be holding midterm review sessions during the normal discussion section slots. There will be 5 types of review session, each covering one week's worth of materials through some review and then a past exam question on that week's topic. You can attend as many as you like.
