Midterm

The midterm will be from 9:30-10:20 on Wednesday Feb 1. The location of the midterm is 420-040, which is the large lecture hall in the basement of Jordan Hall (the Psychology building).

You can use your notes and homework solutions, including your ipad, phone, or computer. I do ask that you shut off the network connection for the duration of the test. You can also use a calculator, but you shouldn't need one.

The midterm will cover all of the material so far, including the most recent homework. Solutions for HW1 and 2 are posted, and HW3 solutions will be posted Sunday night. You still have to turn HW3 in at the usual time.
