The exаm is 60 minutes (nоt 90 minutes). Yоu will hаve аn additiоnal 15 minutes to print (if available), scan, and upload. If you submit after the allotted time, your exam will be considered late and may incur a late penalty. After you complete your exam, scan your solutions into one .pdf file. Please upload your completed exam file by clicking on the "Add File" button underneath Question 1's blank answer field. Download exam file here : Midterm Exam Calculators are not allowed or needed. A cheatsheet is fine, standard 8.5x11, both sides (printed/handwritten). DEN STUDENTS DO NOT USE GRADESCOPE Write your name and Student ID clearly on the coversheet of the exam. Also write your full name at the top of every following page, including any additional blank pages you use. Ensure that all the pages are facing the same direction. Answer each question in the area designated for its answer (do not run over into the next question’s answer space). Keep your exam stapled, ie. Don't remove the staple. Each of the 12 questions below is worth 3 points, you need to answer any 10. BUT IF YOU WANT, you can answer more! We will score everything you write, add up all the points (even the partial ones!). Note that your total will be ‘capped’ at 30, ie. You will not get more than 30 under any circumstances (but still). OMG – a 20% bonus, I mean who does THAT?! Also: there is WAY more space available (a whole PAGE in fact) for each answer, but you don’t HAVE to write that much...just answer the questions. Please do STOP writing when the time is up - if you continue writing, you will get a 5 point penalty. You can use your ‘cheat’ sheet, nothing else. If you are observed ‘cheat’ing, you’ll get a 0 for the exam, AND, be reported to OAI (fyi: we report first, THEN notify you). Please *DO NOT* cheat! Have fun, enjoy searching, retrieving from...your brain and/or cheatsheet!
