| What it's like: | The exam will have about 7 questions, many with
parts. It will be similar to Midterm 1. The questions will be at the same level as the homework.
One of them will of course be True/False questions. Others will ask you about why things are true, or ask for
a calculation that requires understanding what the material is about. There will short answer
questions as well. |
