Midterm Exam

General Information:

The midterm exam will be offered the evening of Thursday, March 8, from 7 – 9 PM in PAC 001. The exam will be closed-book and closed-notes. It will cover material from the first three parts of the course: the Introduction, Growth, and Behavior. Concepts from lecture, the readings, the problem sets, and the quizzes may appear on the midterm.

The exam will have three sections: a series of multiple-choice questions (like the quizzes), a set of "true/false/uncertain" questions, and a set of "essay" questions (like the problem sets, and which may require algebriac manipulation or simple numerical computations). The exam is designed to be completed in 1.5 hours, but everyone will be alloted two hours for the midterm.
